“This map tackled a number of the big issues fairly successfully,” said Commissioner Roy MacPhail. “While not perfect, the San Diego Collaborative Communities Map satisfies the commission’s stated goals and serves the most communities possible,” said Commissioner Justine Nielsen. Supporters say that map would do more to create equity among districts and would solve many key problems, such as the unpopular splitting of Clairemont and Rancho Penasquitos among multiple council districts. The map would join La Jolla with the city’s beach communities in a new, heavily coastal District 1, while District 2 would be shifted inland so that Clairemont could be reunited into one district along with Kearny Mesa, Serra Mesa and Linda Vista.ĭistrict 5 would run across the northern boundaries of the city from Del Mar Heights to Rancho Bernardo, while District 7 would connect inland communities from Carmel Mountain Ranch in the north to Del Cerro in the south. It also would make southern Districts 8 and 9 more heavily Latino. That map would sever UCSD from La Jolla and move the university into a newly drawn District 6 where more than 40 percent of the residents would be Asian. Six panelists favored the chairman’s map, while three favored a proposal that supporters call the San Diego Collaborative Communities map. The panel was sharply divided Friday between the map it approved, called “the chairman’s map,” and a separate map proposed by community leaders that would have made dramatic changes to council district boundaries across the city.
The panel is tasked with creating nine districts that are close to evenly populated, while trying to keep connected communities together. San Diego must redraw its council boundaries once every 10 years when new U.S.
And after that the final tentative map will be the subject of a legal analysis and five public hearings before it is potentially finalized Dec. But Hebrank said there could be some small changes made Thursday.
