Mission Valley - Previous Planning Efforts, Studies and Reports

• On September 10, 2019, the San Diego City Council approved the Mission Valley Community Plan Update and associated documents. 

• The Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) analyzes the environmental impacts that could occur if the plan is implemented and identifies any feasible mitigation measures or alternatives to reduce any environmental impacts.  

• The Zoning Map illustrates the areas that will be rezoned to implement the land use map of the Mission Valley Community Plan Update.

The Mission Valley Community Plan Update Subcommittee (MV CPUS) was a subcommittee of the Mission Valley Planning Group, which is the City's recognized citizens' group for Mission Valley. This subcommittee was created specifically for the Community Plan update in order to provide feedback to the City regarding the process.

Refer to the Community Plan Update Subcommittee page for more information on MV CPUS meetings and materials. 

The Mission Valley Community Plan Update team held an open house at the Westfield Mission Valley Mall on August 12, 2017. The team received valuable input and support on the draft preferred land use alternative map and the scope of environmental issues and alternatives to be analyzed within the forthcoming Environmental Impact Report. 

Below are the materials that were made available at the open house: 

• Mission Valley Community Plan Update Brochure 
• General and Land Use Visual Materials 
• Environmental Scoping & Parks Visual Materials 
• Mobility Visual Materials 
• Draft Preferred Land Use Alternative for Mobility Analysis 

The Mission Valley Community Plan Update conducted outreach through an online portal. Activity 1 focused on prioritizing policy ideas from the Issues and Options Report to help inform land use alternatives for Mission Valley. Activity 2 gathered input on parks and recreation, including future park locations, desired amenities, and trail connections. Activity 3 was guided by the City of San Diego Climate Action Plan (CAP) and explored opportunities to increase the use of alternative transportation modes—such as walking, bicycling, and transit—for daily commutes.  

Data gathered through these exercises were combined with other input collected through our community engagement program such as the Mission Valley Community Plan Update Subcommittee meetings, stakeholder meetings, and community workshops. This input was used to create land use and design scenarios to be evaluated in future outreach activities including a public workshop.  

This report provides the foundation for the mobility issues and opportunities identified in the Issues and Options Analysis available below. The content of this report includes an analysis of existing physical and operational conditions related to the mobility system within the Mission Valley community. This document is the initial step towards updating the Mission Valley Community Plan's Mobility Element.  

• Final Mobility Existing Conditions Report
•  Final Mobility Existing Conditions Report - Appendices 

Outlined in this report are fifteen issues expected to affect long-term development in Mission Valley along with potential solutions to be addressed in the update to the Community Plan. Issues identified include connectivity, establishing a neighborhood center/main street, land use, mobility, and the environment. The Issues and Options Analysis will provide a framework for identifying development alternatives for the update to the Community Plan. Additionally, this document provides an overview of existing plans in the community, the General Plan, and the Community Plan update process.  

• Issues and Options Analysis

Phase II of the update process focused on identifying existing conditions in Mission Valley, and developing a vision for the community for the next 20 to 30 years in the future. This was accomplished through the development of two technical studies (Map Atlas and Issues and Options Analysis) and several community outreach efforts. Community outreach efforts included: engaging residents, business owners, property owners, community members, developers, and other stakeholders in gathering information on existing conditions, opportunities, connectivity, neighborhoods, strategies for moving forward, and a vision for the future.
