San Diego County Municipal Code Ch. 2 Planning Process

The preparation of the Camp Lockett Master Plan and Rezone (Master Plan) was directed by the Board of Supervisors (Board) on July 19, 2016. The Board also directed the conveyances of County-owned property to a variety of non-profit organizations, which are further described in Chapter 2.2.2 below. The development of the Camp Lockett Master Plan and Rezone is the result of a collaborative effort involving the County of San Diego, the Camp Lockett Interest Group (CLIG), the Campo/Lake Morena Community Planning Group (CPG), and other interested parties. As part of the planning process, the CLIG was formed. The following describes the four-phased process:

Phase I (July 2017 – March 2018)

The first phase of the Master Plan development process consisted of existing conditions analysis, data gathering and review, and public outreach. The consultant team identified, collected, and reviewed background information relevant to the Camp Lockett area. The results of the analysis were illustrated on base maps that were used throughout the planning phase of the Project. The first CLIG meeting, public workshop, and CPG meeting were held during this phase. Engaging the community early on in the process allowed the consultant team to gain a better understanding of the core values, desires, and opportunities for the Camp Lockett area while establishing a sense of rapport that would evolve throughout the duration of the Project.

Phase II (April 2018 – September 2018)

The second phase of the Master Plan development consisted of finalizing the data gathering, continued outreach, and preparing an Initial Parameter Analysis that established the thresholds that determined the uses that could be accommodated under the Master Plan. The County, with support from the consultant team, presented the findings of the Initial Parameter Analysis to the CLIG for input.

Phase III (December 2018 – September 2019)

The third phase of the Master Plan development consisted of updating the Historic Landscape District, conducting the Cultural Landscape District Survey and Report, meeting with the Historic Site Board, and conducting Subcommittee meetings. This phase focused on addressing the discrepancies between the contributing buildings in the 2006 and 2009 nominations, assessing the status of existing and newly identified resources within the development area, and updating the technical report as necessary.

Phase IV (June 2019 – October 2020)

The fourth phase of the Master Plan development consisted of drafting the text, graphics, and maps/exhibits to support the Master Plan. This phase also initiated the technical studies in support of the environmental documentation. The Plan is based on the technical analysis conducted by the consultant team and public input received from the CLIG, Campo/Lake Morena CPG, and the public at large.

It is the responsibility of the applicant to work closely with the County of San Diego Planning & Development Services Department to determine future processing actions. Please refer to the individual CLIG chapters for a brief summary of potential future permitting actions.
