Mission Valley Community Plan and EIR

Centered along the San Diego River, Mission Valley is the city’s retail destination, and home to a large number of hotels and offices, as well as residential uses. Development is highly auto-centric and disconnected from the trolley system that extends along the valley. The updated Community Plan implements the 2008 General Plan and includes policies, implementation measures, and design guidelines to serve as the blueprint for the future development of Mission Valley. The update focuses on identifying opportunities for sustainable and pedestrian-scaled development, mixed-use activity centers, public realm enhancement, multi-modal connectivity, and the celebration and preservation of the San Diego River In early 2019, the City of San Diego released a public review draft of the Community Plan update and a draft program EIR.

Dyett & Bhatia led the consulting team that prepared an updated Community Plan that was adopted by the City Council in September 2019. D&B also led EIR preparation.
