by Robert Montana and Rene Kaprielian / Times of San Diego / Sept. 26, 2025In 2019, in anticipation of the city’s upcoming College Area Community Plan update, the College Area Community Planning Board started to develop its own community-driven, 30-year growth strategy.
These increases are in line with recently approved community plan updates for Mira Mesa, Hillcrest and Clairemont.
In 2020, the City Planning Department started its formal multi-year College Area Community Plan Update.
After an open house and initial comment period, the department put forth four plan alternatives, completely ignoring College Area Community Planning Board’s earlier effort.
