Newland Sierra
*The Newland Sierra Project (PDS2015-SP-15-001; PDS2015-GPA-15-001; PDS2015-REZ-15-001; PDS2015-TM-5597; PDS2015-ER-15-08-001) was rescinded by the Board of Supervisors on April 21, 2020. For a statement of proceedings related to the Board of Supervisor action to rescind the project please see the Board of Supervisor's Agenda and Minutes at the following links:

PDS2015-SP-15-001; PDS2015-GPA-15-001; PDS2015-REZ-15-001; PDS2015-TM-5597; PDS2015-ER-15-08-001
The Project includes a General Plan Amendment (PDS2015-GPA-15-001), a Specific Plan (PDS2015-SP-15-001), a Rezone (PDS2015-REZ-15-001), a Tentative Map (PDS2015-TM-5597), and a draft Habitat Loss Permit (PDSXXXX-HLP-XXX).
The GPA proposes to amend the Regional Land Use Element Map to change a portion of the Rural Lands Category in the North County Metropolitan Plan area to Semi-Rural. The GPA also proposes to amend North County Metropolitan Map and Plan to change the General Commercial, Office Professional, Semi-Rural 10, and Rural Land 20 land use designations to Village Core Mixed Use (C-5), Semi-Rural 1 (SR-1), and Open Space-Conservation (OS-C); to add a description of the Project; to amend the I-15 Design Corridor Map; and to amend the Bonsall Community Plan Map to change the Rural Lands 20 Land Use Designation to Open Space-Conservation (OS-C). The Rezone proposes to change the existing zoning to General Commercial/Residential (C34), Single-Family Residential (RS), and Open Space (S80). In accordance with Section 86.104 of County of San Diego Ordinance No. 8365 (N.S.) and Section 4.2 g of the CSS NCCP Process Guidelines (CDFG, November 1993), a Habitat Loss Permit is required because the project would impact Diegan coastal sage scrub. Alternatively, the proposed project may obtain take authorization through Section 7 consultation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
