City officials say the key issue is the commission staff's call to cut the proposed maximum height of office buildings from 58 feet to 45 feet to preserve ocean views. Commission staff also wants a former Navy chapel preserved for public use on the NTC property between Lindbergh Field and Rosecrans Street. The city proposes that it be used as a conference center for one of two hotels proposed for the project.
Plans call for 380,000 sf of office/research and development space, 350 homes, 46 acres of parks, an arts and culture center, other educational facilities, a golf course and a parking structure with 3,750 spaces.
Meanwhile, Superior Court Judge E. Mac Amos Jr. has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the city's plan. Brian Fletcher filed the lawsuit in February.
Fletcher alleges his great-grandparents, Ed and Mary C.B. Fletcher, were among six families that obtained 135 acres at the site and intended it to be used by the Navy in perpetuity.
