THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A BLUEPRINT TO HELP IT MOVE INTO THE FUTURE.

KPBS RACE AND EQUITY REPORTER, CHRISTINA KIM WITH DETAILS.

>> Reporter: THE HEART OF SAN DIEGO'S CHICANO AND LATINO COMMUNITY COULD HAVE A NEW COMMUNITY PLAN THAT LAYS OUT WHERE HOMES AND BUSINESSES CAN BE BUILT IN THE FUTURE.

THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE PLAN TODAY.

IT HAS BEEN 43 YEARS SINCE THE PLAN WAS LAST UPDATED.

COUNCIL MEMBER VIVIAN MORAN OH WHO REPRESENTS LOGAN, SAYS IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN SO LONG.

>> THE ADOPTION OF THIS PLAN UPDATE IS A MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT.

THE RESIDENTS OF BARRIO LOGAN HAVE LONG DESIRED TO HAVE A MODERN COMMUNITY PLAN AND THE FRUIT OF THEIR LABOR IS BEFORE US TODAY.

>> Reporter: SEGREGATED AND REDLINED IN THE EARLY 20th CENTURY ONLY TO HAVE ROADWAYS AND BRIDGES TEAR THROUGH ITS CENTER IN THE 1960s, BARRIO LOGAN HAS A THE HIGHEST RATES OF ASTHMA IN THE STATE.

FOUR LONGTIME ACTIVISTS AND RESIDENTS, THE NEW PLAN IS A WAY OF BUILDING A MORE EQUITABLE FUTURE AND ADDRESSING THAT PAST.

NAOMI SANCHEZ GREW UP AND LIVES IN BARRIO LOGAN.

>> IT DOES NOT MAKE UP FOUR ALL OF THE YEARS OF INJUSTICE BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A BETTER STEP MOVING FORWARD FOUR OUR COMMUNITIES AND FUTURE GENERATIONS.

>> Reporter: THE EXTENSIVE PLAN INCLUDES CHANGING THE ZONING FOR A 65 ACRE AREA IN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS WOULD CREATE A TRANSITIONAL BUFFER ZONE BETWEEN WHERE PEOPLE LIVE AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES.

IN 2013, AN UPDATED COMMUNITY PLAN CONTAINING THE BUFFER ZONE WAS APPROVED BUT THEN MARITIME BUSINESSES FUNDED A REFERENDUM THE NEXT YEAR WHICH SCRAPPED THE ENTIRE PLAN.

THIS TIME, HOWEVER, THE MARITIME INDUSTRY IS ON BOARD.

>> I AM REALLY HAPPY.

THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

WE IN THE INDUSTRY HAVE PUT FORTH A LOT OF EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT WE GET TO THIS POINT.

WHILE THE RESIDENTS ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF WHAT IS THE OUTCOME, SO ARE WE.

>> Reporter: AND FOUR THE FIRST TIME IN THE CITY'S HISTORY, THE NEW PLAN CONTAINS ANTI- DISPLACEMENT MEASURES INCLUDING REQUIRING 15% AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND PROVIDING PRIORITY TO DO HOUSING FOUR BARRIO LOGAN RESIDENTS, SOMETHING THAT SANCHEZ, A RESIDENT, KNOWS WILL IMPACT HER AND OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> IT WILL GIVE PEOPLE THE TRANQUILITY OF KNOWING THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE SOMEWHERE TO LIVE NEXT MONTH.

>> Reporter: MARK STEELE IS THE CHAIR OF THE BARRIO LOGAN PLANNING GROUP WIKI CREDITS THE PLAN'S ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE AGREEMENT REACHED JUST LAST YEAR.

>> WHERE WE ARE TODAY IS THE RESULT OF THE SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH COALITION, THE SHIP THING INDUSTRY, SHIP REPAIR INDUSTRY AND THE PLANNING GROUP.

TO CREATE AN MEN AROUND HIM OF UNDERSTANDING THAT OUTLINES ALL THE DETAILS OF USE THAT WILL -- IN THE TRANSITION.

>> Reporter: THE CITY COUNCIL WILL REVIEW THE PLAN AGAIN IN JANUARY BEFORE SENDING IT TO THE COASTAL COMMISSION SOMETIME NEXT YEAR BUT EVEN STILL, FOUR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING FOUR YEARS FOUR A NEW COMMUNITY PLAN, TODAY'S BOAT IS A COST WAS CELEBRATION.

>>> TODAY IS THE 80th ANNIVERSARY OF THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR, AN ATTACK THAT DREW THE WORLD INTO WORLD WAR II.

THIS MORNING THE MOMENT WAS REMEMBERED AT A CEREMONY ABOUT THE USS MIDWAY AND MUSEUM AND KPBS REPORTER, JOHN CARROLL WAS THERE.

>> Reporter: ON DECEMBER 8th, 1941, PRESIDENT AND DELANO ROOSEVELT ADDRESSED CONGRESS WITH WORDS NOW SEARED INTO AMERICAN HISTORY.

>> DECEMBER 7th, 1941, A DATE WHICH WILL LIVE IN INFAMY.

>> Reporter: OLD MOVIE TONE NEWSREELS SHOWED WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT DAY WHEN PLANES FROM WHAT WAS THEN THE EMPIRE OF JAPAN SWOOPED DOWN AND ATTACKED THE U.S. FLEET AT PEARL HARBOR.

80 YEARS LATER, ON BOARD THE USS MIDWAY MUSEUM TODAY, A CEREMONY MARKING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE PEARL HARBOR ATTACK >> BOW YOUR HEADS AND LET US PRAY FOUR OUR DEPARTED SHIPMATES WHO ARE NOW SERVING ON THE STAFF OF THE SUPREME COMMANDER.

>> Reporter: THE TRADITIONAL TWO L CEREMONY.

REMEMBERING THOSE PEARL HARBOR VETS WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US.

THE LAYING OF THE WREATH.

AND THE SOUNDING OF TAPS AND IN THE FORM OF CALL AND RESPONSE.

A FITTING TUNE FOUR TODAY, THE FIRST TIME NONE OF SAN DIEGO'S DWINDLING NUMBER OF PEARL HARBOR VETS WERE ABLE TO ATTEND THE CEREMONY.

THIS PICTURE IF US TO HENLEY AND CLAYTON SCHENKEL BERG, TWO OF SAN DIEGO'S BEST KNOWN PEARL HARBOR SURVIVORS.

WE LOST BOTH OF THEM EARLIER THIS YEAR.

THAT IN ITSELF IS A SAD REMINDER THAT OUT OF THE 16 MILLION MEN AND WOMEN THAT SERVED IN WORLD WAR II, ONLY ABOUT 300,000 ARE LEFT.

AND OUT OF THAT 300,000, VERY FEW ARE PEARL HARBOR SURVIVORS.

>> THEY WERE THE ONE THAT ALWAYS KEPT THE MESSAGE WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET.

WE THINK IT IS INCUMBENT UPON OURSELVES AND GENERATIONS OF TODAY TO CONTINUE TO DELIVER THAT MESSAGE SO AMERICA IS ALWAYS READY BECAUSE WE NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

>> Reporter: WE DID EXPECT RAIN DURING THIS MORNINGS CEREMONY BUT IT HELD OFF UNTIL LITERALLY RIGHT AFTER THE EVENT ENDED.

DAVE KUNZ SAYS PERHAPS THAT WAS A SIGN FROM BEYOND FROM THOSE WHO WERE THERE FOUR THE DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS EVENING EDITION NEWS.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS FILED FELONY CHARGES AGAINST 10 PEOPLE IN CONNECTION WITH VIOLENCE THAT BROKE OUT AT A PRO-TRUMP RALLY LAST JANUARY.

KPBS REPORTER KITTY EL DORADO HAS REACTION FROM A PHOTOGRAPHER THAT WAS THERE.

PUT BACK ON JANUARY 9, LONGTIME PACIFIC BEACH RESIDENT AND PHOTOGRAPHER JOHN PROPOSER DR. HSU WHAT HE THOUGHT WOULD BE A RALLY IN SUPPORT OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND A COUNTER PROTEST HAPPENING ON THE BOARDWALK.

>> GUYS WERE SWINGING SKATEBOARDS THAT IS, SWINGING MAKESHIFT STAFFS AND BATONS AT US.

PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SHOOT MACE AT US.

AND THEY ARE SCREAMING, GET THEM, GET THEM.

HE SAYS, INSTEAD, A VIOLENT MOB TURNED ON HIM.

>> HE TOOK A SWING AT MY SKULL AND AT THE LAST MOMENT, I WAS ABLE TO TURN AND DEFLECT IT AND THAT TOOK THE SHOT STRAIGHT ON MY BACK.

THE D.A.

FILED CHARGES AGAINST 10 PEOPLE THEY SAY HAVE TIES TO ANTIFA, A POLITICAL MOVEMENT THAT OPPOSES FASCISM AND RIGHT-WING IDEOLOGY.

THE CHARGES INCLUDE CONSPIRACY, ASSAULT AND VANDALISM.

IN A PRESS RELEASE, THE D.A.

SAYS THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S SEARCH AND ARREST WARRANTS SPANNED TWO COUNTIES, SAN DIEGO AND LOS ANGELES.

THERE SO SAID HE DID NOT THINK CHARGES WOULD BE FILED.

>> IT FELT GOOD.

I DID NOT THINK AT THAT TIME, I HAD LOST FAITH IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM TO DO ANYTHING.

>> Reporter: SUMMER ANGRY CHARGES WORK CHARGES AGAINST THE PROTESTERS SAYING TRUMP SUPPORTERS WERE VIOLENT, TOO AND SHOULD ALSO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

A LAWSUIT IS PENDING IN FEDERAL COURT, CLAIMING SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICERS SHOWED FAVORITISM TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS, SAN DIEGO POLICE AREN'T COMMENTING ON THAT SUIT.

BUT THE D.A.

SAYS THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING AND SHOWS THE MAJORITY OF THE VIOLENCE WAS CAUSED BY THE ANTIFA AFFILIATED DEFENDANTS.

>> WHEN WE START GETTING INTO POLITICAL VIOLENCE, THAT'S NOT OKAY AND IT'S NOT OKAY FROM EITHER SIDE.

>> Reporter: IF CONVICTED, THE DEFENDANTS COULD FACE UP TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON.

KITTY ALVARADO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IS CLOSER TO NAMING A NEW SUPERINTENDENT TONIGHT AT THIS HOUR.

THE DISTRICTS SEARCH ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS PRESENTING SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WITH A FINAL PROPOSAL ON HOW TO MAKE THE CHOICE.

THE DISTRICTS OF MORE THAN 100 STUDENTS HAS BEEN OPERATING WITH AN INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT SINCE LAST SUMMER.

CINDY MARTEN RESIGNED AFTER BEING APPOINTED DEPUTY SECRETARY OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

AFTER EIGHT MONTHS OF INTERVIEWS, THE COMMITTEE NARROWED THE LIST TO 10 PEOPLE.

THE BOARD SHOULD CONSIDER.

ALL CANDIDATES WERE PRESSED ON THEIR PLANS FOUR DEALING WITH THE ONGOING COVID CRISIS.

>> WE WILL BE IN A PANDEMIC IN JANUARY WHEN THEY TAKE THE HELM.

THEY WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT AND THEY WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH PARENTS' DISSATISFACTION OVER THE HANDLING OF THE SAFETY OR THE OVER HANDLING OF SAFETY OF THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR STUDENTS.

>> THE COMMITTEE ALSO RECOMMENDS THE FINAL TOP THREE CANDIDATES BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONING BY STUDENTS THE STAFF AND PARENTS IN A HYBRID VIRTUAL AND IN PERSON COMMUNITY FORUM ON JANUARY 10.

>>> SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL MEMBER JEN CAMPBELL IS UNDER FIRE OVER HER STAFF MEMBERS' INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROCESS OF DRAWING NEW COUNSEL DISTRICTS.

KPBS METRO REPORTER, ANDREW BOWEN SAYS CRITICS WANT AN INVESTIGATION.

>> Reporter: FERMENTS, SAN DIEGO'S INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING COMMISSION HAS BEEN DEBATING HOW TO REDRAW THE CITY'S NINE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS.

IN OCTOBER IT LOOKED AS IF CAMPBELL WOULD BE DRAWN INTO A NEW DISTRICT, MEANING SHE WOULD HAVE TO MOVE TO RUN FOR LIVE RE- ELECTION.

THAT IS WHEN HER SENIOR POLICY ADVISOR, SHAMUS KENNEDY DREW MAPS THAT WOULD NOT REQUIRE HER TO MOVE.

SHE SAYS SHE DID NOT ASK HIM TO DO THAT BUT A NONPROFIT LAST WEEK ASKED THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO INVESTIGATE.

THE OFFICE RESPONDED SAYING THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT BUT THAT EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS AS A PRIVATE CITY IN.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> CRUISE SHIPS ARE ONCE AGAIN SAILING THE OPEN SEASON THAT HAS GIVEN COVID AN ADVANTAGE.

MORE THAN A DOZEN PEOPLE ARE REPORTED TO HAVE BECOME INFECTED ON A CRUISE SHIP IN NEW ORLEANS.

IN SAN DIEGO, PORT OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE MONITORING ANY DEVELOPMENTS THAT COULD HAVE AN IMPACT ON OUR LOCAL CRUISE SHIP INDUSTRY WHICH LOST $300 MILLION WELL SHIPS WERE DOCKED BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC THE FIRST CRUISE SHIP LEFT SAN DIEGO TWO MONTHS AGO WITH AN ESTIMATED 100 CREWS CALLS THE SEASON THAT MEANS UP TO 225,000 PASSENGERS.

>> WITH THE RETURN OF THE CRUISE SHIPS TO THE WATER HAS INSPIRED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO TAKE CRUISES ONCE AGAIN.

WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS THE CRUISE LINE INDUSTRY HAS REALLY GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE SURE THE PASSENGERS FEEL SAFE.

>> Reporter: TO PLACE AS MANY CRUISES IN THE U.S.

REQUIRE PASSENGERS TO BE VACCINATED OR PRESENT A NEGATIVE COVID TEST BEFORE BOARDING.

PROTOCOLS ARE ALSO INCLUDING REGULAR CLEANING, WEARING MASKS AS WELL AS AN END TO SELF-SERVE BUFFETS.

>>> FENTANYL IS A DEADLY TRIFECTA.

IT IS CHEAP, CAN BE EASILY DISGUISED AS A DIFFERENT DRUG, AND IT IS 50 TIMES MORE POTENT THAN HEROIN.

KPBS'S KATIE SIEGEL SAYS THE NUMBERS SHOW THE CHALLENGE HEALTH OFFICIALS FACE.

FENTANYL OVERDOSES HAVE MORE THAN QUADRUPLED IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY SINCE 2018.

>> THERE REALLY IS NO SAFETY NET ON THE STREET.

>> ANITA SURVIVED HOMELESSNESS AND ADDICTION AND SHE WANTED HER BEST FRIEND JOSH PALMER TO SAY THE SAME.

EACH PUSH FROM HER WAS MET WITH AN EMPTY PROMISE.

HE WASN'T READY TO GET CLEAN.

HER LAST WORDS WERE SHE WOULD SEE HIM LATER.

>> THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A SEE YOU LATER.

ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BE A SEE YOU LATER.

AND I'M NOT GOING TO SEE HIM LATER.

>> Reporter: PALMER DIED OF A FENTANYL OVERDOSE IN MARCH ON THE STEPS OF THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF EAGLES JUST OFF UNIVERSITY AVENUE IN HILLCREST.

DATA FROM THE MEDICAL EXAMINER SHOWS AT LEAST 446 PEOPLE DIED IN 2020 WITH FENTANYL IN THEIR SYSTEM, FOUR TIMES HIGHER THAN IN 2018.

IT IS A PROBLEM NATIONALLY AS WELL.

ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES, MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE DIED OF DRUG OVERDOSES WITHIN THE FIRST 12 MONTHS OF THE PANDEMIC.

THAT'S 30% MORE THAN THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

NINE MONTHS INTO THE YEAR, AND ALREADY, MORE PEOPLE HAVE DIED WITH FENTANYL IN THEIR SYSTEMS THAN LAST YEAR.

BY THE END OF AUGUST, 2021, AT LEAST 534 PEOPLE HAVE DIED WITH FENTANYL IN THEIR SYSTEM.

EVEN MORE PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO DIE BY YEARS END SAYS DR. LUKE WORKMAN, THE DIRECTOR OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES.

>> IT IS HARD TO SAY WHEN THE EPIDEMIC CURVE IS GOING TO TURN.

WE ARE CONTINUING TO SEE INCREASES.

IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT IN CONTROL SUPPLY.

PARTICULARLY WITH FENTANYL BECAUSE IT IS SO STRONG, ODORLESS, CARLESS, VERY EASY TO TRANSPORT AS AN ILLICIT NARCOTIC, ARE EASY TO HIDE IN OTHER SUBSTANCES BECAUSE OF THAT IT REPRESENTS A CHALLENGE.

>> Reporter: A DISHEARTENING TRUTH IS THESE DEATHS ARE MOSTLY AVOIDABLE BECAUSE THE ANTIDOTE NALOXONE IS EASY TO ACCESS.

BUT MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE DRUG AND SPEAK STIGMA ABOUT ADDICTION PREVENT PEOPLE FROM HELPING SOMEONE WHO IS OVERDOSING.

SO SAYS DR. RYAN MARINO, A CLEVELAND-BASED MINUTE ADDICTION MEDICAL SPECIALIST.

>> PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE TO SUFFER OR DIE BECAUSE THEY USE DRUGS.

AND SO TO ME, THIS IS JUST MORE STIGMA THAT HURTS PEOPLE WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS AND ADDICTION AND EVEN PEOPLE WHO JUST CASUALLY USE DRUGS AND PREVENTS THEM FROM GETTING APPROPRIATE TREATMENT.

>> Reporter: MISINFORMATION CAN ALSO IMPACT THE LOVED ONES OF THOSE WHO DIE OF FENTANYL OVERDOSES.

DIANE HODGKINS LOST HER HUSBAND, DEREK TO A $15 HIT OF FENTANYL IN 2019.

BUT SHE SAYS THE MAN SHE KNEW WAS ALREADY GONE WHEN HE DIED.

>> I REALIZED HE WAS TOO FAR GONE.

HIS PERSONALITY WAS GONE.

>> Reporter: WHEN HER HUSBAND OVERDOSED, SHE VIVIDLY REMEMBERS CALLING 9-1-1 HOPING PARAMEDICS COULD HELP.

>> THEY WERE THE ONES THAT LET ME KNOW THAT HEY, YOU HAVE A 1- YEAR-OLD KEEP THE TOUCHES A, HE WILL DIE INSTANTLY.

>> Reporter: SHE AND DOMINIC LEFT THEIR HOME THE DAY ERIC DIED AND NEVER RETURNED.

MARINO SAID THE TEAM DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT INFORMATION.

>> ANY DRUGS NEAR AN INFANT CAN BE PROBLEMATIC.

BUT IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO GET INTO YOUR BODY UNLESS YOU ARE INJECTING OR SNORTING IT.

IT DOESN'T JUST CROSS TO THE SKIN, IT IS NOT JUST GETTING INTO THE AIR.

>> Reporter: SINCE THE MAJORITY , DEMOCRATIC, TOOK OVER THE BOARD OF SUPER SIZES SUPERVISES, THEY REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF HARM.

THAT CAN INCLUDE NALOXONE, CLEAN TOOLS TO INJECT WITH, PRIMARY CARE, SHELTER AND SHOWERS.

>> THE SPIRIT OF IT IS GETTING PEOPLE WHAT THEY NEED AND WHAT THEY WANT, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT IN A PARTICULAR MOMENT, ABLE TO COMMIT TO A TRAJECTORY TOWARDS ABSTINENCE.

>> Reporter: THE COUNTY ALSO CREATED COMMUNITY HARM REDUCTION TEAM SPECIFICALLY TO THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY AND PLAN TO EXPAND THEM COUNTY Y.

>> WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING ACCESS TO THE FORMAL CONICAL CARE.

WE DO KNOW OVER THE LONG-HAUL IT REDUCES THE LIKELIHOOD OF OVERDOSED HAPPENING AND OTHER HARMS ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANCE MISUSE.

>> Reporter: THE CHANGES CAME TOO LATE FOUR PEOPLE LIKE JOSH PALMER AND THE HOTCHKISS FAMILY.

WHETHER THEY MAKE A DENT IN OVERDOSES IN FUTURE YEARS REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

KATIE SIEGEL, KPBS NEWS.
