Blueprint For San Diego
In July, Mayor Todd Gloria introduced a major housing initiative called Homes For Us All. A collection of programs that includes Blueprint San Diego, this initiative focuses on building new housing as opposed to using multiple strategies that retain naturally occurring, or unsubsidized, affordable housing, incentivize adaptive reuse, and reinvest in the pre-1960s housing stock. Many of these programs will be achieved by tweaking the City of San Diego's Land Development Code, such as creating more live/work units and building affordable housing on public property. However, Blueprint San Diego housing will require a full environmental review because it aims to streamline the community planning process and help implement the City's Climate Action Plan. The forthcoming environmental impact report for Blueprint San Diego will also include some community plan updates, such as for Mira Mesa and the Hillcrest Focused Plan Amendment.
The City is seeking comments on these programs, which could potentially be implemented next year. SOHO encourages all San Diegans to express your opinion and ask for a balanced and sustainable approach to help protect and retain the individual character of San Diego communities.
