Representatives for the privately-owned Rancho Guejito said at a community planning meeting that no development or project plans have been completed and that no official application has been filed, reported the Union-Tribune. Rodney Co., owner of the 22,000-acre parcel, has approached regional officials with the idea of building 10,000 homes on the land and preserving the remaining 16,000 acres.

                                        

Attorneys for the owners of California's last remaining undeveloped Spanish land grant will attend a Pala/Pama community planning meeting to discuss their plans to build 10,000 homes on the property, reported KPBS. The Guejito Ranch is over 20,000 acres, north of the Wild Animal Park, and owned by the Coates family, who is proposing to build on 6,000 acres and preserve the rest.

                                        

The San Diego Chargers, former Super Bowl favorites, announced this week that the team will remain in San Diego one more season to study the prospects for building a stadium downtown. Although it is unlikely they will leave after the 2010 season, the fact that Ed Roski Jr. (L.A. stadium developer) and Dean Spanos are good friends cannot be too comforting to Chargers fans. But if the downtown stadium site does fall through, a potential site in North County is still on the table.

In October 2009, after several months of feasibility studies, the city of Escondido told the Chargers they could build upon with 60 acres of land in an industrial area northeast of the Highway 78/Interstate 15 interchange known as the “Crossroads.” The Escondido stadium idea soon became a front-runner as potential sites in Chula Vista and Oceanside faced serious hurdles. However, the push for the Escondido site came before San Diego revived its stadium ambitions.
