EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since 2013, the District has been evolving and improving a process, which we have come to know as Integrated Planning. In short, Integrated Planning is a multi-faceted and comprehensive approach for managing and planning the uses of the District in a balanced way.

Staff has incorporated the feedback obtained at these PMPU Board Workshops into the PMPU Discussion Draft, a link to which is included as Attachment A to this agenda sheet. Hard copies of the PMPU Discussion Draft are also available at the District Clerk's Office located at 3165 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92101. Copies...
