Urban Design/Land Use Planning Charrette

The City of San Diego is inviting the public to participate in an urban design and land use charrette. The charrette is a hands-on workshop that will focus on developing design concepts to guide the Old Town San Diego community plan update. Participants will help create concepts for community improvements by addressing planning issues and identifying areas for potential change. The activities of the charrette will build upon preliminary information generated in work sessions with the Community Plan Update Advisory Committee and public, as well as a walk audit conducted earlier in August.

The workshop will run for four hours, and will be divided into “modules” that will allow participants to actively engage in parts of the workshop that they are most interested in if they cannot attend the entire session. During the modules, participants will refine boundaries of the community districts, identify issues, and propose improvements for circulation, parking, parks and open space, and historic resources. Participants will also help develop concepts for design guidelines, as well as for street furniture, landscape, and buildings. Some of the guideline topics will be applied throughout Old Town San Diego, while others will be specially targeted at individual community districts. At the end of the workshop participants will review the recommendations and identify strategies to implement them.

The public is strongly encouraged to attend and actively participate in the Old Town San Diego Community Plan update process. For more information concerning the Old Town San Diego Community Plan Update, please visit the Old Town San Diego Community Plan Update website. Meeting notices and agenda will be posted on the Old Town San Diego Community Plan Update website prior to the meetings.
