Sunroad Enterprises appears to have blinked in the showdown with the City of San Diego. A lawyer for the developer tells the Union Tribune that Sunroad will reduce the height of 180 foot office tower near Montgomery Field. He refused to commit to a reduction specifically to the 160 feet allowed by the FAA. He says Sunroad will re-engineer the building to a height approved by the FAA, and he says the details will be worked out with city officials.
The announcement comes five days after San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders issued a stop-work order on the construction of the office tower.
Sunroad has insisted for more than a that it had a valid city permit for the construction...and that it was entitled to put up a building that exceeds FAA limits.
