Community Plan Area located between State Route 52 on the south and Torrey Pines Community Plan Area the north, and between Interstate 805 and Marine Corps Air Station
Miramar on the east and the Pacific Ocean and the La Jolla Community Plan Area on the west.The Community Plan Update provides a comprehensive policy framework for future growth and development over the next 20 to 30 years. Consistent with the General Plan and the
Climate Action Plan, the Community Plan Update proposes a land use strategy with additional capacity for employment and residential in Transit Priority Areas and Sustainable
Development Areas. The Community Plan Update also includes policies to support a multimodal transportation system to promote active transportation, increase transit use, and
provide more connections in the community.The Community Plan Update proposes the use of the Community Plan Implementation Overlay Zone (CPIOZ) Type A to provide ministerial Supplemental Development Regulations to implement recreation, urban design, and mobility requirements in villages areas.
The Community Plan Update also proposes accompanying rezoning, amendments to the General Plan and San Diego Municipal Code, dedication of City owned open space, and an amendment to the Historical Resources Guidelines of the City’s Land Development Manual to exempt specified areas within the University Community Planning Area from potential historic resource review under SDMC 143.0212.
A Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) was circulated for public review as part of Blueprint SD Initiative, the Hillcrest Focused Plan Amendment, and the University Community Plan Update and a future consistency determination to the PEIR will be made for the Community Plan Update.
