Land Development Manual
The Land Development Manual provides information to assist in the processing
and review of applications. Volume I establishes requirements for the
submittal of applications, including the identification of required fees
and deposits. Volume II establishes development standards and guidelines
used in the review of applications. The appendices include a number of
manuals that were originally adopted in advance of the Land Development
Manual. Each will be formally incorporated into the Land Development
Manual at the time future amendments are processed.
Proposed Revisions to the Land Development Manual
Draft Guidelines for the Application of Historical Resources Board
Designation Criteria and Notice of 30 Day Comment Period
The current designation criteria were adopted by the City Council in
2000 as part of the Land Development Code and associated Land Development Manual (LDM).
The Historical Resources Guidelines of the LDM identifies the criteria under which
a resource may be historically designated. It states that any improvement, building,
structure, sign, interior element and fixture, site, place, district, area, or object
may be designated a historical resource by the City of San Diego Historical Resources
Board (HRB) if it meets one or more of the six designation criteria. The LDM does not
currently provide guidance on the application of the designation criteria. However,
the Municipal Code, Section 111.0206(d)(3) states that the powers and duties of the
HRB includes adoption of specific guidelines for designating historical resources.
This would extend to guidelines for the application of the adopted designation criteria.
The Guidelines for the Application of Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria
will be included as Appendix E, Part 2 of the Historical Resources Guidelines of the LDM and
shall be used when evaluating a resource's eligibility for listing on the local register.
The criteria guidelines reflect a multi-year effort to solicit input from interested parties,
including the Historic Resources Board and historic preservation consultants and professionals,
as well as members of the public; and are intended to assist applicants in the understanding
and application of the adopted designation criteria. The Historical Resources Board adopted
the Guidelines for the Application of Historical Resources Board Designation Criteria
on August 27, 2009 and recommended that they be included in the Land Development Manual.

Revisions to Landscape Standards and Notice of 30 Day Comment Period

The proposed changes to the Landscape Standards generally reinforce the City's existing
standards for water conservation. Additionally, in compliance with California Water Conservation
