Scott Peters' Stand on the Issues

Building Our Local Economy

The technology economy – telecommunications, software, electronics, internet and biomed – represents the kind of high wage growth our region should promote. The health and development of the high-wage, knowledge based economy, depends on a solid infrastructure and a high quality of life. Infrastructure is what moves people and product from place to place. Quality of life is what San Diego uses to compete with other technology centers for raw materials – people.

In the past, business and "quality of life" have been at odds in San Diego, at least in political dialogue. In the future, they will be inseparable, as we strive to keep San Diego the kind of place that can compete for excellent entrepreneurs and employees. That means good transportation, affordable housing, clean beaches, clean water, safe family neighborhoods and schools, and a real around-the-clock downtown. A high quality of life makes us competitive with other, lower cost technology centers like Austin or Raleigh-Durham.

Local government should work collaboratively with economic development organizations, labor groups, environmental groups and other interested parties on efforts to invest in our infrastructure and improve our quality of life to support these regional industries. We should ensure that our regional general plans provide land at the right locations to support our business clusters and to provide affordable housing for our employees. We should continue to reduce the cost of business by ensuring that regulations are cost-effective, clear, and consistently enforced.

Planning for Growth

San Diego faces unprecedented population growth in the next two decades, mostly from births within our existing population. Unless we are careful, that growth threatens the very things we love most about our city and our neighborhoods. If we plan well, however, growth can enhance our region's prosperity and our quality of life. If we take advantage of the opportunities that growth brings, we can have a great and thriving downtown, wonderfully attractive and safe family neighborhoods, clean beaches and pristine open spaces, and an efficient transportation system.

But reaching that dream requires a commitment to good planning and careful budgeting. The city (which closed its Planning Department in 1996) must recommit itself to planning for this growth, and to bind itself to the plans it creates. The City’s decision to shut down the planning department in 1996 was ill advised. I would emphasize community-based planning as a way to achieve consensus on controversial issues such as housing density, transit, affordable housing and park development.

Smart Growth

A foundation of "smart growth" is to reinvest in the infrastructure of established communities rather than building new infrastructure for new communities sprawling farther and farther up the freeway. As a council member, I will work to stop urban sprawl so that our infrastructure resources can be directed toward upgrading and enhancing existing communities.

Suburban sprawl robs existing communities of infrastructure resources, making them less attractive and desirable, and increasing incentives for further sprawl. In order to relieve the pressure to develop our open spaces, our region needs to encourage new development to be located on established transit corridors in the urbanized communities. We must invest the building fees from new development in existing communities, not on new developments further down the freeways.

Protecting Our Environment

Our greatest treasures in this region are our beaches, bay, canyons, hillsides and open spaces. The quality of our natural environment supports our thriving tourism industry and our ability to attract high tech workers, and determines the quality of life we demand for ourselves and our children.

Yet our beaches are contaminated, our hillsides are threatened, and our bay is one of the nation's most polluted. We need leaders with experience in environmental issues to fashion strategies that simultaneously promote economic development and ensure environmental health.

There is simply no excuse for the degraded quality of our ocean water. The fact that swimmers and surfers could become sick from using the ocean is a disgrace, and undermines our mission to preserve and enhance our quality of life. The fact that we are closing beaches in San Diego, when we have relied on and subsidized the visitor industry so heavily, is also bad business. I will place a greater priority on protecting the quality of ocean waters in the following ways:

(1) Completion of the stormwater diversion program, diverting runoff from the storm drains to treatment;
(2) Aggressive testing to identify the quantities and causes of ocean water contamination and to pursue solutions;
(3) Preservation of our natural stormwater filtering infrastructure -- our natural streambeds, wetlands and vernal pools;
(4) Reclamation of "gray water" for a variety of non-drinking uses;
(5) Programs that reward clean beaches for good management.

District 1 is still home to a variety of sensitive habitats. I support the MSCP [Multiple Species Conservation Program] as a means of protecting that habitat. All stakeholders -- builders, community groups, environmental organizations, regulatory authorities and the City -- need to understand that this is a pioneering and experimental program that will not work without the long term commitment and cooperation of all parties. As a council member, I will ensure that all parties continue to talk so that the program can serve both of its goals: protecting habitats and allowing sensible development. As an attorney with experience in complex environmental problems, I can make a real contribution to narrowing the field of disagreement and ensuring that the MSCP is effective in protecting species.

Supporting our Public Schools

Information technology demands an educated populace; we want our children to learn here, work here and stay here. While the city council does not have direct authority over our schools, it is incumbent on all of us, elected officials, teachers, parents and civic leaders to be involved and helping. I supported Proposition MM, which will make $1.5 billion available to rehabilitate San Diego school facilities. On the council, I’ll support programs like the Safe Schools Initiative, which established a hot line for kids to call if they are worried about safety at school, and procedures for police follow up. I support the creation of safe school zones, enhancing laws now on the books for keeping guns and drugs out of schools. I support funding after school care and creating a pilot program to get computers donated from the private sector. Good schools are a critical component of redeveloping our older neighborhoods, a foundation of "smart growth." Everyone has something to offer and everyone should try.

Promoting Mobility/Reducing Traffic

It is no secret that as we continue to grow, our existing traffic problems will only get worse. The addition of more than a million new San Diegans would mean 685,000 new cars at current usage rates. There is no way that we can simply build new parking lots, roads and highway lanes to continue our current auto use patterns. However, there are five strategies we can pursue that I support and will implement if elected to office:

1. Make Transit Competitive. In cities around the country, people choose to use transit systems when they are more convenient than the automobile. Our transit system does not compete well with the automobile. Until now, we have often put transit where it is cheapest or easiest to construct, instead of where it would be most useful to San Diegans. We need to target our investments in transit as if we were a business competing with the automobile for riders. We cannot and should not force people out of their cars. If we are going to reduce traffic through transit, we have to build stations that are attractive and convenient, and we must provide fast, safe, dependable -- and competitive -- service.

2. Land Use. If everyone is forced to drive where they need to go, traffic congestion is inevitable. Over the long term, we can reduce traffic by linking new intensive land uses directly to transit infrastructure, and locating new housing units and businesses more centrally, near shops and businesses, instead of in outlying areas where the only access is via automobile. I participated on the County’s Air Quality Strategy Development Committee, which developed a number of excellent strategies to reduce vehicle trips through land use strategies; I would promote these as a council member.

3. Highway Management. On I-15, we have begun to employ strategies like high occupancy vehicle lanes or zipper lanes that reward car-pooling and take advantage of changing traffic flow from morning to afternoon. Reasonable strategies for I-5 include adding auxiliary and truck-climbing lanes in many gaps, expanding from 8 lanes to 10 lanes (per current Caltrans planning), the extension of HOV lanes and improved traffic flow management.

4. Work Patterns. We should encourage local businesses, governments and other institutions to maintain flexible work hours to and increase "telecommuting" to reduce peak hour traffic and congestion. New technology makes this a reasonable strategy.

5. Roads. We will need to continue to build and improve our roadway system with new roads, such as SR 56, considering community and environmental factors. Roads are essential to our community, but road building alone is a losing strategy for fighting traffic congestion.

On the Regents Road Bridge: Councilman Mathis has put in place a "compromise" that will hold off completion of the bridge until the city can do traffic studies to assess the need for the bridge after the interchange is completed for I-805 at Nobel. There is already significant progress on the interchange, so that traffic study should follow soon. The bridge remains in the community plan, and is the basic infrastructure for much of the development in northern UC.

On reopening Sorrento Valley Road: Sorrento Valley Road is adjacent to a remarkably peaceful and beautiful habitat for endangered species, and an important part of a wildlife corridor. That wildlife corridor cannot be replaced, and its protection should be our highest priority. While I would consider reopening the road, I would have to be satisfied about the protection of the wildlife and the wildlife corridor.

On the completion of Highway 56?: The completion of Highway 56 has languished needlessly for over a decade. Although the devopment of all of Carmel Mountain Ranch and Sabre Springs and half of Rancho Penasquitos was predicated on a completed 56, those housing developments have been long built, with unplanned and unfairly limited access. Now, completion is scheduled for 2003, and this year’s state budget finally includes $25 million in funding to help complete the midsection of SR56.

Unfortunately, SR56 as currently drawn solves one problem while creating others. Caltrans is unwilling to fund direct connections from SR 56 to I-5 or to I-15. At both ends, we can expect significant delays for people getting onto and off of SR 56 and the interstates, and we can expect serious impacts on neighborhood surface streets from drivers seeking to avoid the bottlenecks. As a council member, I will fight to get Caltrans to approve, design and build the direct connections, and I will push Sacramento to fund them.

Affordable Housing

The median sales price for a newly built home in San Diego is $281,000. Median family income is $52,500, which qualifies a potential buyer for a $200,000 mortgage. Since half of our population earns below the median, the American dream of home ownership is a mirage for many San Diegans. Rents are also high.

The cost of housing is a serious business issue, since it poses a serious barrier to San Diego companies trying to attract workers. We should encourage alternatives to suburban-type developments with single family homes, cul-de-sacs and two car garages; lots of older and younger singles, and childless couples, could be interested in something else. We should reduce processing times for building new housing units, in part through authorizing the city to contract for additional permitting staff during periods of intense building activity. Finally, we should be more innovative about our zoning, which is based on the historical notion that industrial, commercial and residential uses have to be separated. This may not be the case in some communities with today’s knowledge-based economy.

Creating a Regional Infrastructure Authority

I support the integration of planning for infrastructure, land use and traffic, and think it is a great idea to combine the functions of various special districts so we can take a more comprehensive approach to regional planning. While I disagree with several of the details in the RITA [as proposed by Senator Steve Peace] proposal, I support the concept.

The Downtown Ballpark

Unlike the backroom Chargers deal, made by politicians in private, the public made the ballpark decision. The election was preceded by an unprecedented amount of information, including a number of newspaper articles in the Union Tribune and the Reader about traffic, parking and financial concerns associated with the project. There were dozens of debates between advocates and opponents, and the full text of the memorandum of understanding was included in the ballot statement. There is no issue in recent memory on which voters were so fully informed.

The ballpark project is a reasonable plan to do a critical thing -- spur the redevelopment of a blighted area of downtown. The development of downtown is a vital component of "smart growth," which concentrates intensive land uses and new residential housing in the center city and the existing urban core as a means of reducing traffic, improving infrastructure and preserving open space. In particular, that means keeping new cars off of Highways 5 and 15.

The ballpark redevelopment model has worked well in Denver, Cleveland, Baltimore and other cities. The city has reached agreements to preserve historical resources and to deal with environmental issues. The various lawsuits and efforts to overturn the ballpark plan offer no alternative, and there is now no reason to believe that another redevelopment plan would work better or would be cheaper for the city.

On the other hand, studies show that the increased property value assessment in the ballpark district will total nearly $3 billion, meaning at least an additional $30 million per year in tax revenues beginning in 2005. We should consider making this revenue the primary source for bond repayment, rather than tourist taxes from hotels we do not yet have. In any event, we need to stop delaying the project -- the longer the delays, the costlier the project and the further away the benefits.

The Airport

As a member of the Lindbergh Field Public Working Group, I learned just how close Lindbergh Field is to gridlock on the runways and roads. I support the Port beginning the 10-year process for improving the airport. If our regional business, government and community leaders can agree on a better plan in the meantime, we should consider it, but we can’t afford to wait to improve Lindbergh.

Noise from the Marine Operations at Miramar

The operation of a military air base (or a commercial airport) is unfortunately inconsistent with peaceful residential living in our city. However, it does not appear that the Marines are inclined to move their opearations. In conjunction with community groups, including MARCH and the Seawolf Good Neighbor Marine Aircraft Alliance, making sure that the Marines minimize the impacts on our residents will be one of my highest priorities. We need to ensure that the Marines hold accountable those who do not obey flight rules, and that the Marines continue to cooperate to find less obtrusive routes. I will do my best as a council member to get the Marines to take a fresh look at these alternatives, particularly when the control tower opens at Ramona Airport.

Undergrounding Overhead Power Lines

One of the most important investments we can make in improving the quality of our existing neighborhoods is moving the miles of ugly power lines that contaminate our views under the concrete where they belong. I am personally outraged that the City seems so indifferent to this, and that the power company has collected -- but not spent -- tens of millions of dollars from ratepayers to do undergrounding.

Seals at the Children’s Pool

I think Seal Rock should be for seals and the Children’s Pool should be for children.
