You can update your launchsettings.json to include a 'Development' profile and then run:

dotnet run --launch-profile "Development"

For further details on configuration of the launchSettings.json file see Working with multiple environments

Note that the commandName would probably need to be "Project" (I haven't really tried this much). Example launchSettings.json as follows:

{
  "iisSettings": {
    "windowsAuthentication": false,
    "anonymousAuthentication": true,
    "iisExpress": {
      "applicationUrl": "http://localhost:19882/",
      "sslPort": 0
    }
  },
  "profiles": {
    "Development": {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "launchBrowser": true,
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
      }
    }
  }
}
