DIGEST:

This resolution designates the Hawthorn Street and Brant Street exit on Interstate 5 north and the Sea World Drive exit on Interstate 5 south as the defined routes for reaching the historic landmark, the Naval Training Station.

ANALYSIS: This resolution designates the Hawthorn Street and Brant Street exit on Interstate 5 north and the Sea World Drive exit on Interstate 5 south as the defined routes for reaching the historic landmark, the Naval Training Station. It also requests the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to determine the cost of the appropriate historic landmark signs, consistent with the signing requirements of the state highway system, showing this designation and, upon receiving donations from non-state sources sufficient to cover the cost, to erect the historic landmark signs.

Background

After the closure of the Station, the City of San Diego formed a reuse committee made up of numerous stakeholders including environmental, business, cultural, nonprofit, and community groups to plan for the future use of the property. In 2003, the Liberty Station Community Association was created to manage and maintain the vision of the reuse committee for the former Naval Training Station, and in 2001, the Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service.

Today, Liberty Station has become a culinary, art, cultural and shopping destination nestled in 125 acres of open space and, according to the author, this resolution would help inform and invite more guests to experience the historic district and aid in its preservation, while honoring the military’s rich and significant history.

Comments

Purpose.

Liberty Station is the site of the former San Diego Naval Training Station. It was founded in 1923 and tripled in size during World War II. This expansion marked the addition of buildings and barracks built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style that is prevalent among other historic areas of San Diego. The Station served as one of the United States Navy’s central training facilities until its closure in 1997.

SUBJECT: City of San Diego’s Naval Training Station

DIGEST: This resolution designates the Hawthorn Street and Brant Street exit on Interstate 5 north and the Sea World Drive exit on Interstate 5 south as the defined routes for reaching the historic landmark, the Naval Training Station.

ANALYSIS:

The committee has adopted a policy regarding the naming of state highways or structures. Under the policy, the committee will consider only those resolutions that meet all of the following criteria:

1. The person being honored must have provided extraordinary public service or some exemplary contribution to the public good and have a connection to the community where the highway or structure is located.
2. The person being honored must be deceased.
3. The naming must be done without cost to the state. Costs for signs and plaques must be paid by local or private sources.
4. The author or co-author of the resolution must represent the district in which the facility is located, and the resolution must identify the specific highway segment or structure being named.
5. The segment of highway being named must not exceed five miles in length.
6. The proposed designation must reflect a community consensus and be without local opposition.
7. The proposed designation may not supersede an existing designation unless the sponsor can document that a good faith effort has uncovered no opposition to rescinding the prior designation.

This resolution designates the Hawthorn Street and Brant Street exit on Interstate 5 north and the Sea World Drive exit on Interstate 5 south as the defined routes for reaching the historic landmark, the Naval Training Station. It also requests

the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to determine the cost of the appropriate historic landmark signs, consistent with the signing requirements of the state highway system, showing this designation and, upon receiving donations from non-state sources sufficient to cover the cost, to erect the historic landmark signs.
