Hillcrest mapping workshop Tuesday

Identify height limits & conservation areas

Hillcrest zoning mapHillcrest residents and preservationists are encouraged to attend a one-time mapping workshop tomorrow evening to address future zoning limits (Hillcrest’s existing map is shown at the left) and get community input as the city plans for our community plan update.

Should height limits in central Hillcrest (shown as light lavender) continue to be set at 200 feet? Should we have an unlimited height north of Washington Street? The group will also discuss conservation areas for Hillcrest on group maps. What is worth perserving in our neighborhood?

A second interactive exercise will answer:

1) Where are potential Conservation Areas? Do you agree with the areas we identfy as conservation areas? Would you modify the boundaries of the identified areas? Woud your recommend any additional conservation areas?

2) Map out potential Conservation Areas on city-supplied maps with reasons for selections

3) What elements of character within each district should be conserved? Some examples Uptown Community Plan charetteinclude: scale, setbacks, street trees, garage & driveway locations, building materials and architectural features.

The interactive meeting will be held tomorrow (Tuesday, November 2) beginning at 6pm in the Joyce Beers Community Center (on Vermont Street north of Cleveland). Everyone is welcome. For more information call            (619) 260-1929      . We are one year into a two-year process by the City of San Diego to create a new community plan for Uptown. The original community plan was written in 1988 as an outline for area development. Please join us as we plan for Hillcrest’s future.
