J. GARRETT SIBINGA

STUDY TO DETERMINE POTENTIAL AREAS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY

.PARAMETERS

the group commissioning the study, set very specific parameters for development

1. proximity to urban areas

2. proximity to highways

3. non-disturbance of parks

4. availability of scenic views

.DECISION

the area chosen for development was selected for its fulfillment of the requested parameters.

it is located centrally within the county, northeast of the city center.

the area is readily accessible by highway, and falls between the second and third band removed from urban areas.

located on the edges of park land with ideal elevations throughout, opportunities for scenic views are widespread, yet it does not disturb existing park land. 10 MILES
