Description: This layer was updated January, 2018 to reflect the City boundary changes of Greenwood and Castlerock LAFCO annexations. On August 25, 2011, the Redistricting Commission of the City of San Diego voted 7-0 to adopt the Final Redistricting Plan, which specifies the boundaries of districts for San Diego City Council. The Final Plan complies with the redistricting criteria and legal requirements of San Diego City Charter sections 5 and 5.1; the U.S. Constitution; the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965; and related cases and statutes. The Redistricting Commission also added a 9th Council District, as directed by the voters of the City of San Diego in a Charter amendment enacted in 2010. The Redistricting Commission of the City of San Diego is vested with sole and exclusive authority to adopt plans that specify the boundaries of districts for San Diego City Council. San Diego City Charter sections 5 and 5.1 were enacted by the voters in 1992 to create an independent Redistricting Commission to draw City Council districts in compliance with the law.
