The Imperial Beach mayor beat Chula Vista Mayor John McCann 53.9% to 46.1% for the vacant District 1 seat, giving Democrats a 3-2 majority on the Board of Supervisors.

San Diego's Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve Midway Rising, which would replace Pechanga Arena and its parking lot with a 16,000-seat arena, about 4,250 homes (2,000 affordable) and 14.5 acres of parks. The land-use entitlements then went to the City Council.

A citizen initiative would lift the countywide sales tax from 7.75% to 8.25% for Tijuana River sewage fixes, wildfire and public safety, and health care, food aid and child care hit by federal cuts.

Voters decide whether to add an independent ethics commission, budget analyst and program auditor to the county charter, and let supervisors serve three terms instead of two.

The City of San Diego and the Midway Rising developers have until Dec. 4 to reach the deal to build a 25-story arena, 4,250 homes and nearly 15 acres of parks on the Pechanga Arena site. The Legislature passed SB 344 in August to shield the project from CEQA lawsuits.
