The Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Diego was created by the City Council in 1958 to alleviate conditions of blight in older, urban areas. The Redevelopment Agency is able to use special legal and financial mechanisms to eliminate blight and improve economic and physical conditions in designated areas of the City. This authority is conferred on the Agency through the state of California's Health and Safety Code (Section 33000-et.seq.), also known as the California Community Redevelopment Law.

Although the Redevelopment Agency is a separate, legal entity, the City Council serves as its legislative body. The Mayor chairs the Agency, and the City Attorney serves as general counsel. The Redevelopment Division of the City Planning & Community Investment serves as staff to the Agency.

City staff to the Agency coordinates budget and reporting requirements, prepares the Redevelopment Agency Docket, and maintains the Agency's official records. Staff also coordinates the activities of the Agency's two public, nonprofit corporations, Centre City Development Corp. (CCDC) and Southeastern Economic Development Corp. (SEDC).

The Redevelopment Agency's 17 redevelopment project areas and two Survey Areas encompass more than 11,759 acres.

The Redevelopment Agency administers seven Project Area Committees that advise the Agency regarding plan adoption and project implementation activities.
