A San Ysidro
Community Plan Update, recently approved by the San Diego City Council, rezones
hundreds of acres near the Mexican border to create a vibrant mixed-use, transit-oriented
village, with higher-density and multi-story housing along the Trolley Line. In
approving the plan, city and community leaders said this image as a low-income
area lacking quality housing and jobs, reports the San Diego Union-Tribune.
At the heart
of the revitalization plan is a historic Mexican Village (rendered above) that
encompasses San Ysrido’s Old Town along East San Ysidro Boulevard and Border
Village Road to create a 124-acre mixed-use district by the Beyer Boulevard
Trolley Station, one stop north of the border. This Commercial center would
provide a place for community gatherings and a visitor destination with
restaurants, performance spaces and a theater.
The plan
allows mixed-use development for the first time and aims to attract new
businesses to the area and create well-paying jobs. It also calls for more
parks and establishes impact fees developers will have to pay the city to fund
infrastructure projects. The plan would increase housing units by 31%, adding
2,340 units to the area’s 7,410 housing stock. About 32% of San Ysidro’s
population is under age 18, and the number of people per household is nearly
double the city’s average. About 18% of residents live in subsidized projects
with income restrictions.
