The new procedure required the creation of design review checklists for each of the eight communities with existing Community Design Guidelines, which include Alpine, Bonsall, I-15 Corridor, Lakeside, Spring Valley, Sweetwater, and Valley Center. The Ramona Design Review Checklist will be processed concurrently with the Ramona Town Center project. |
