Mayor Faulconer Faulconer: “My big push is to update our community plans and dramatically shorten the time it takes to update them.”

SAN DIEGO—In order to provide opportunities for the innovation sector to grow, San Diego must update its community plans—some of which are more than 25 years old—Mayor Kevin Faulconer said during NAIOP’s “Lunch with the Mayor” program Thursday. The mayor spoke to NAIOP members about affordable housing, fees and taxes, Climate Action Plan mandates, water- and energy-reduction mandates, economic-development strategies, future development opportunities, job creation, economic-development infrastructure, civic initiatives for San Diego’s future and streamlining city processes.

Faulconer said $.5 billion has been allocated for infrastructure over the next five years and that 1,000 miles of San Diego roads will be paved during that time. He is also in factor of the large turnover in department heads that has taken place since he’s been in office, saying fresh leadership is good for the city.
