Existing Conditions Data Collection

From June 2003 to July 2004 the Planning Division collected citywide existing conditions data in electronic format and reviewed it for accuracy in partnership with Community Planning Groups. The data have since served as a baseline for current and future efforts including:

• Preparation of a Master Environmental Assessment
• Preparing a financing and development strategy for public facilities and infrastructure
• Amending or updating community plans
• Updating the General Plan
• Conducting environmental analysis

The goal of this effort was to expand the existing database used by the City of San Diego (SanGIS) in order to centralize pertinent information and data critical to effective and comprehensive planning efforts

• Land use
• Historical/Cultural Resources
• Public Facilities/Services
