Petition For SoccerCity Development Gets 100,000-Plus Signatures

Petitions for San Diego's proposed SoccerCity project today were turned in to the county registrar of voters, and development group FS Investors said that it "delivered more than 500 boxes of petitions calling for a referendum with more than 100,000 signatures." That is "more than enough to meet the city requirement for 71,646 city voters’ signatures to place the item on the Nov. 7 special election ballot." Registrar of Voters Michael Vu "will now have 30 days to verify the signatures and report back to San Diego City Clerk Elizabeth Maland." The proposal calls for "housing, offices, retail, parks and a professional soccer stadium" on the Qualcomm Stadium property (SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.com, 4/24).
