public and staff review.
April 13, 2011
This staff report contains staff’s review of the property owner requests classified as a “moderate” and “major” in the March 16th 2011 staff report, to determine if there are any staff recommendation land use alternatives that would reduce them to “minor” changes.
August 3, 2011
Based on direction from the Board
on April 13, the August 3 documents contain a number of changes to the
General Plan Update that were considered “minor” because they were
consistent with the General Plan Update guiding principles and did not
require recirculation of the Environmental Impact Report. As directed
by the Board, the August 3 report also contains all final documents
necessary to make a decision on the General Plan Update.
January 9, 2012
On Aug. 3, the Board of
Supervisors adopted the General Plan Update. Following adoption of the
plan, the Board voted to schedule a workshop to review the Property
Specific Requests that were submitted during the General Plan Update
hearings but not included in the adopted plan. These requests were
submitted during public testimony on the General Plan Update and
evaluated in the March 16 staff report. Approximately 137 specific
requests were analyzed by staff for the workshop and the analysis is
now available to the public.
June 20, June 27, July 25, and September 12, 2012
During a workshop held January 9 through January 11, 2012, the
Board of Supervisors considered over 137 private property owner
requests to modify the County of San Diego’s General Plan land use
designations. 56 requests were referred back to staff by the Board for
further evaluation. Actions directed by the Board varied between
requests but included steps such as determining if a modified request
was available that could be consistent with the General Plan Guiding
Principles, obtaining community planning group input, determining what
larger study areas (if any) required consideration in making changes
to the plan, notifying potentially affected property owners, and
developing workplan options for amending the General Plan. These
reports respond to Board direction related to the private property
owner requests.
