  • Neighborhood Element
    NEIGHBORHOOD ELEMENT INTRODUCTION Southeastern San Diego is one of the oldest communities in the City of San Diego. The plan area encompasses approximately 7,100 acres and houses over 79,000 residents. It includes a number of distinct neighborhoods with contrasting needs and existing conditions. In view of this diversity, the Southeastern San Diego community planning area has been divided into seventeen neighborhoods that will be discussed individually in the Neighborhood Element. This element is intended to summarize the problems and issues of the neighborhoods, and to provide detailed information and recommendations for future development. In effect the Southeastern San Diego community is a cluster of several neighborhoods. As population has increased and development spread, the community’s boundaries have shifted and neighborhoods have relinquished their individual names for the more general term, Southeastern San Diego. The purpose of the Neighborhood Element is to identify the history, existing development and character of the neighborhoods of Southeastern San Diego in an effort to establish the heritage, architectural character, areas in need of preservation, and areas intended for growth. The neighborhoods are addressed here in western, central, and eastern subareas to provide a regional perspective. 173 25. Neighborhood Areas SOUTHEASTERN SAN DIEGO CITY OF SAN DIEGO PLANNING DEPARTMENT FIGURE 25 174 WEST SECTOR WEST OF STATE ROUTE 15 Sherman Heights, Logan Heights, Grant Hill, Stockton, Memorial. These neighborhoods are rich in history and architectural character. Many locations have spectacular views to downtown San Diego, the bay and mountains. Conservation of neighborhood character and new infill development need to be combined as the key to the area's future.
