These distinct communities each have a distinct physical setting with a unique history, culture, character, life style, and identity. Community and Subregional plans, thus provide a framework for addressing the critical issues and concerns that are unique to a community and are not reflected in the broader policies of the General Plan. As part of the General Plan, this Community Plan is consistent with all other parts of the County’s General Plan. Used in conjunction with the General Plan, a community or Subregional plan (Plan) is a key tool for the public, Community Planning/Sponsor Groups, County staff, and decision makers to identify the existing conditions and development that positively contribute to its character and should be conserved, as well as the location, scale, and design of desired new land uses, and community facilities. The Plan’s policies require that development be comparable to, or transition with, existing development to ensure that new development “fits” with the community and enhances the community’s vision. Scope of the Community Plan The Central Mountain Subregional Plan covers the Central Mountain Sub-regional planning area, which is illustrated in Figure 1. This Subregion includes approximately 203,000 acres and contains the communities of Cuyamaca, and Descanso.. Figure 1: Central Mountain Subregion The Goals and Policies contained in each of the chapters of this text listed under one of the Subregional Group Areas apply only to lands and projects within that Subregional 1 Group area. The Goals and Policies not specifically identified with one of the two Subregional Group areas

    4.2 Agriculture and Forest Resources 4.2 AGRICULTURE AND FOREST RESOURCES This section evaluates the potential impacts to agriculture and forest resources associated with implementation of the 2050 RTP/SCS. The information presented was compiled from multiple sources, including the County of San Diego, the State of California Department of Conservation (DOC), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), CAL FIRE, and local jurisdictions. 4.2.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS Agriculture Overview of Agriculture in the Region Agriculture is not only an important contributor to the economy of the San Diego region; it also is a primary land use in the unincorporated area of the region. San Diego County contains 6,687 farms and agriculture ranked fifth as a component of the region’s economic resources (County of San Diego 2010). San Diego County is the 16th largest agricultural economy among all counties in the nation. The region’s unique topography creates a wide variety of microclimates resulting in nearly 30 different types of vegetation communities. This diversity allows San Diego farmers to grow over 200 different agricultural commodities, such as strawberries along the coast, apples in the mountain areas, and palm trees in the desert (County of San Diego 2010). The region ranks first in both California and the nation in production value of nursery plants, floriculture, and avocados. Statewide, San Diego County is in the top five counties for producing cucumbers, mushrooms, tomatoes, boysenberries and strawberries, grapefruit, Valencia oranges, tangelos and tangerines, honey, and eggs. San Diego County has the largest community of organic growers in the state and nation, with 374 farms growing more than 175 crops (County of San Diego 2009).

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP MF-1547-A ^UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE SILL HILL, HADSER, AND CALIENTE ROADLESS AREAS, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA SUMMARY REPORT By V. R. Todd and R. E. Learned U.S. Geological Survey and Thomas J. Peters and Ronald T. Mayerle U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and the Joint Conference Report on Senate Bill 4, 88th Congress, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of min­ eral surveys of the Sill Hill (5-304), Hauser (5-021), and Caliente (5-017) Roadless Areas, Cleveland National Forest, San Diego dpunty, California. SUMMARY The Sill Hill, Hauser, and Caliente Roadless Areas comprise approximately 20,000 acres in the Cleveland National Forest, San Diego County, Calif, (fig. 1).

  • 4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This Chapter Presents an Overall Summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the Water Resources on Their Reservations
    4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This chapter presents an overall summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the water resources on their reservations. A brief description of each Tribe, along with a summary of available information on each Tribe’s water resources, is provided. The water management issues provided by the Tribe’s representatives at the San Diego IRWM outreach meetings are also presented. 4.1 Reservations San Diego County features the largest number of Tribes and Reservations of any county in the United States. There are 18 federally-recognized Tribal Nation Reservations and 17 Tribal Governments, because the Barona and Viejas Bands share joint-trust and administrative responsibility for the Capitan Grande Reservation. All of the Tribes within the San Diego IRWM Region are also recognized as California Native American Tribes. These Reservation lands, which are governed by Tribal Nations, total approximately 127,000 acres or 198 square miles. The locations of the Tribal Reservations are presented in Figure 4-1 and summarized in Table 4-1. Two additional Tribal Governments do not have federally recognized lands: 1) the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseño Indians (though the Band remains active in the San Diego region) and 2) the Mount Laguna Band of Luiseño Indians. Note that there may appear to be inconsistencies related to population sizes of tribes in Table 4-1. This is because not all Tribes may choose to participate in population surveys, or may identify with multiple heritages. 4.2 Cultural Groups Native Americans within the San Diego IRWM Region generally comprise four distinct cultural groups (Kumeyaay/Diegueno, Luiseño, Cahuilla, and Cupeño), which are from two distinct language families (Uto-Aztecan and Yuman-Cochimi).

  • 4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Resources
    4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Resources 4.1 AESTHETICS AND VISUAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the potential impacts to visual resources and aesthetics associated with implementation of the 2050 RTP/SCS. The information presented was compiled from multiple sources, including information from the San Diego County Draft General Plan and its associated Draft EIR (2010), and the SANDAG 2030 RTP EIR (2007). 4.1.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS Regional Character The San Diego region is an area of abundant and varied scenic resources. The topography of the region contributes greatly to the overall character and quality of the existing visual setting. In general terms, the region is characterized by four topographical regions: coastal plain, foothills, mountains, and desert. The visual character of each is described briefly below. The coastal plain ranges in elevation from sea level to approximately 600 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) and varies from rolling terraces to steep cliffs along the coastline. The coastal plain provides expansive views in all directions, with the coastline visible from some local roadways. Much of the coastal plain is already developed with varying densities of urban and suburban development. Agricultural uses within the coastal area include row crops, field flowers, and greenhouses. The foothills of the San Diego region range in elevation from 600 to 2,000 feet AMSL and are characterized by rolling to hilly uplands that contain frequent narrow, winding valleys. This area is traversed by several rivers as well as a number of intermittent drainages. The foothills are also developed with various urban and rural land uses. Agriculture consists of citrus and avocado orchards as well as row crops.
