The Project includes a General Plan Amendment (PDS2015-GPA-15-002), a Specific Plan (PDS2015-SP-15-002), a Rezone (PDS2015-REZ-15-003), a Tentative Map (PDS2018-TM-5626), a Major Use Permit (PDS2015-MUP-15-008), a Site Plan (PDS2018-STP-18-011), and a draft Habitat Loss Permit (PDSXXXX-HLP-XXX).
The GPA proposes to re-designate a portion of the property from Semi-Rural Regional Category to Village Regional Category and to re-designate the land use designation from Semi-Rural Residential 0.5 to Village Residential 10.9 and Neighborhood Commercial. The proposed Rezone would change the zoning designation from A70 (Limited Agriculture) and RR (Rural Residential) to S88 (Specific Plan). 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.
