Description: Community plan boundaries for the City of San Diego land use policy plans specific to these geographic areas. Land use policies within jurisdictional boundaries have the ability to create a citywide land use and policy document called the General Plan. Many cities in California are small enough that their General Plans are single volumes. Larger cities, such as San Diego, often subdivide the city into a number of community plans, or "mini" land use policy plans for more specific geographic areas.

Description: The San Diego Promise Zone (SDPZ) is characterized by high unemployment, low educational attainment, insufficient access to healthy foods, concentrated poverty, rising crime,and the least affordable housing in the nation. Youth unemployment is a severe problem: 40.1 percent of SDPZ youth, aged 16-24, are unemployed compared to 20.5 percent of youth of the same ages across the city.Recent rezoning, vacant land along high traffic corridors, and a central location that is well-served by public transit are assets that the SDPZ will build upon to bring economic vitality to these underserved communities.www.hud.gov/promisezones
