    October 2003 Volume 34, Issue 4 Showley Brothers Candy Factory Makes a 280 Foot Historic Move! The Ballpark Warehouse agreement is one of SOHO's most significant preservation triumphs, made in 1999 between Centre City Development Corp., the Padres, the City of San Diego, the National Trust, and SOHO. The agreement includes a Preservation Advisory Group to monitor treatment of the historic structures including preservation, restoration, reuse and rehabilitation of eleven buildings threatened under the original ballpark plan. Among the agreement’s innovative solutions were incorporating the Western Metals Building into PETCO Park itself (a first in the nation) and relocation of the Showley Brothers Candy Factory. Built in 1924, the 3-story, 30,000 square foot, brick building produced candy until 1951. On September 22 the building was moved to make room for the "Park at the Park", although its final use has not yet been determined. Moving the Candy Factory was one of the most ambitious undertakings required by the agreement. The 100 foot by 100 foot, un-reinforced brick building, which weighs 3 million pounds, was moved on wheels one block east of its present site, requiring over 42 hydraulic dollies and an intricate cable winch (L-R) Mike Buhler, National Trust, Bruce Coons, Mayor Dick Murphy system. The ceremony was attended by San Diego Mayor, Dick Murphy, Padres president, Dick Freeman, and representatives of Centre City Development Corporation, East Village Association, National Trust, and Save Our Heritage Organisation. "Through the design and construction of PETCO Park, we’re committed not only to the redevelopment of downtown, but to preserving the historic integrity of the area," said Dick Freeman, Padres team president.

  • Report Is the Product of Our Inquiry and Evaluation of That Matter
    I. INTRODUCTION The Attorney General agreed to a request by Jerry Sanders, the Mayor of the City of San Diego, to inquire into allegations of corrupt conduct made against the mayor by Michael Aguirre, the City Attorney of San Diego. This report is the product of our inquiry and evaluation of that matter. The inquiry commenced shortly after June 15, 2007, when the San Diego Union-Tribune published City Attorney Aguirre’s letter to the editor concerning the mayor’s handling of the Sunroad Centrum 12 building project. In August 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had determined that the Centrum 12 building constituted an air navigation hazard due to its height and proximity to Montgomery Field Airport, which is owned and operated by the City of San Diego. Sunroad’s principal and the owner of Centrum 12, Aaron Feldman, is a campaign contributor of the mayor’s. City Attorney Aguirre’s letter to the editor charged that Mayor Sanders “engaged in an embarrassing and corrupt course of action,” by allowing Centrum 12’s construction by Feldman “in defiance of FAA safety standards and California state law,” and by employing his staff and a San Diego Regional Airport Authority executive on loan to the city to “lobby the FAA for changes to the routing of airplanes at Montgomery Field so that the illegal building could remain, [thus], misusing thousands of dollars of public funds for the private benefit of a campaign contributor,” i.e., Feldman. City Attorney Aguirre additionally charged that the mayor had “engaged in a campaign of delay, deny and deceive.” This office inquired into City Attorney Aguirre’s allegations of a “corrupt course of action” by the mayor, as well as his related allegations made earlier in two television news programs, an airport authority meeting and a press conference.
