College Area Community Plan Update
The City of San Diego is updating the College Area Community Plan, which was adopted in 1989. The updated Community Plan will take into account current conditions, Citywide goals in the Climate Action Plan and the General Plan, and community specific goals to provide direction for the long-term development of the community. The College Area Community Plan Update will be a collaborative process with ongoing opportunities for public input. During the update process, Planning Department staff will work with the College Area community and the public to identify and consider important questions, issues, and opportunities including:
- How will College Area grow over the next 20-30 years?
- What services, infrastructure or facilities are needed to meet this growth?
- How can the community best plan for new housing opportunities, including housing for San Diego State University students.
- How can College Area nurture the economic relationship with San Diego State University and strengthen the community's connection to the university?
- How can the community support neighborhood businesses, including those along the community’s celebrated El Cajon Boulevard business corridor?
- How can the community build upon College Area’s robust transit network, including the trolley and the El Cajon Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit, to support additional housing near transit?
- Where can College Area create public and recreation spaces that provide opportunities to get outside, connect, and play.
See below for an illustration of the process and timeline:
