State land rezoning to fight retail leakage
Summary
The city rezoned 29.8 acres of state land on Cesar Chavez Boulevard to community commercial so it's shovel-ready when the state auctions roughly 40 acres. Staff estimates San Luis leaks $55 million in retail spending to other cities — capturing it could mean about $3.2 million in sales tax revenue for city services.
