8.6.1 Phasing¶
Market conditions, funding, and similar conditions beyond the control of SYH would drive the overall implementation period. Phasing is not proposed at this time but anticipated improvements are likely to take place over the next 15-20 years.
8.6.2 Future Permits¶
The following table identifies the anticipated permits for proposed uses. Per Section 5700, proposed uses (including by-right) will be subject to Site Plan review pursuant to Special Area “H” Designator. Coordination with the County of San Diego Planning and Development Services is strongly recommended to navigate through the land use permit process. During the discretionary review, uses will be evaluated for consistency with the environmental review prepared for the Master Plan (15183 checklist).
