College Area Community Plan Update

College Area Community Plan Update

The College Area Community Plan Update entails a comprehensive update to the existing College Area Community Plan that was adopted in 1989 and last amended in 2019. The College Area CPU establishes an updated vision and strategy to guide future growth and development within the College Area community in the City of San Diego (City) over the next 30 plus years. The proposed CPU aligns with the City’s amended General Plan (Blueprint SD Initiative) policy and land use framework and the City of Villages land use strategy as well as the policy direction of the citywide Climate Action Plan (CAP). The proposed CPU aims to reinforce the community’s role as a college town with vibrant mixed-use corridors and nodes that connect to neighborhoods and San Diego State University (SDSU). The College Area CPU provides more opportunities for homes, jobs, and mixed-use development and community villages connected to SDSU; retail and employment centers; residential areas; public spaces; and bus and trolley stations while also focusing on other aspects, such as protecting natural resources, open space, and biodiversity. The proposed CPU envisions growth near SDSU and along transportation corridors, with new mixed-use development occurring on pedestrian-oriented streetscapes and connections to the neighborhoods. The proposed College Area CPU contains ten elements, including Introduction; Land Use; Mobility; Urban Design; Economic Prosperity; Recreation; Open Space & Conservation; Public Facilities, Services & Safety; Historic Preservation; and Implementation. These elements contain specific goals and policies that provide direction on what types of future uses and public improvements should be developed in the College Area community.
