Description: The General Plan land use is an illustrative representation of community plan's land use designations and policies. Refer to the specific Community Plans<https://www.sandiego.gov/planning/community-plans> to view the adopted land use map and related policies and guidelines. On a Citywide and communitywide level, the land use map identifies an approximate boundary between open space and other community plan uses. This boundary can include privately owned parcels. The boundary lines are approximate since site-specific detail may not have been available when the maps were prepared. They were based on the best mapping technology that was available at the time, such as hand drafted paper maps, and should only be used for general planning purposes. The community plan land uses data are implemented by zoning and development regulations such as the environmentally sensitive lands regulations. When development is proposed, the City may work with the applicant to determine the actual open space boundary on a parcel level based on detailed site-specific information provided during the review, such as a biological study, and development regulations. The City has been in the process of digitizing older paper maps and non-Geographic Information Systems (GIS) format maps into GIS. While these older maps may appear to have a greater level of clarity in GIS, they are only a digital version of the older maps and have not been revised to correct mapping limitations of the older maps such as discrepancies between roads and existing development when shown on an aerial image. The map discrepancies between open space, roads and existing development have been addressed as part of the community plan updates since 2008.When making a selection on the map, the information window will show the Community name, the community plan land use, General Plan land use and community plan density range from low to high.
