California power plant to fall by end of year.
The California Coastal Commission unanimously approved a Coastal Development Permit for the demolition of the South Bay Power Plant, located at 990 Bay Boulevard in Chula Vista.
The issuance of the Coastal Development Permit is a precursor to the City of Chula Vista issuing a demolition permit.
“Over the past decade, there has been great work happening to support the vision of the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan and the Commissioners’ unanimous decision today helps us move closer to creating a world-class resort and residential destination on our portion of San Diego Bay,” said Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox. “With the power plant gone, public access to the waterfront will eventually improve and environmental resources will be preserved around future development.”
