San Diego
San Diego County is considering adding an environmental justice element to its general plan, updating its safety plans, and adjusting its housing plans to discourage residential development in sites with very high natural hazards.
The Board of Supervisors Wednesday directed county staff to make several changes to the general plan that it will finalize this summer. The board aims to ensure that the county can meet housing needs while avoiding development in unsuitable or unsafe areas.
The changes are also supposed to provide fair treatment for communities that have traditionally suffered damaging environmental health impacts, such as exposure to pollution and toxic materials. They also are supposed to help communities with high numbers of vulnerable residents, such the elderly, pregnant women, children and those with conditions such as asthma.

The property was originally identified for purchase because it would benefit the community of Lakeside by providing opportunities for future trail connections, development of future recreational facilities and retention of existing equestrian and youth sports field uses. The main channel of the San Diego River crosses the property, and onsite habitat includes coastal sage scrub, riparian scrub, riparian forest, as well as disturbed and developed areas. I m grateful to Chair Fletcher s leadership in working with me to bring this forward and I am hopeful that my colleagues will commit to working with me as well for the immediate restoration of this East County community treasure, Supervisor Joel Anderson said. Once completed, I look forward to inviting them to hike with me and see for themselves its pristine natural beauty.
