Master Plan Principles

1. Provide for the present use and enjoyment of the bay and tidelands in such
a way as to maintain options and opportunities for future use and enjoyment. 2. The port district, as trustee for the people of the state of California, will administer the tidelands so as to provide the greatest economic, social, and aesthetic benefits to present and future generations. 3. The port district will assume leadership and initiative in determining and regulating the use of the bay and tidelands 4. The port district, in recognition of the possibility that its actions may inadvertently tend to subsidize or enhance certain other activities, will emphasize the general welfare of state-wide considerations over more local ones and public benefits over private ones. 5. The port district will take particular interest in and exercise extra caution in those uses or modifications of the bay and tidelands, which constitute irreversible action of loss of control 6. The port district will integrate the tidelands into a functional regional transportation network. 7. The port district will remain sensitive to the needs, and cooperate with adjacent com- munities and other appropriate governmental agencies in bay and tideland development. 8. The port district will enhance and maintain the bay and tidelands as an attractive physical and biological entity. 9. The port district will insure physical access to the bay except as necessary to provide for the safety and security, or to avoid interference with waterfront activities. 10. The quality of water in San Diego bay will be maintained at such a level as will permit human water contact activities. 11. The port district will protect, preserve, and enhance natural resources, including natural plant and animal life in the bay as a desirable amenity, an ecological necessity, and a valuable and usable resource. 12. The port district will conduct its own operations on an equal opportunity basis. 13. The port district will maintain its master plan current, relevant, and workable, in tune with circumstances, technology, and interest of the people of California. 14. This statement of goals and the master plan shall be reviewed annually prior to adoption of the budget.

San Diego Port Master Plan Provide for the present use and enjoyment of the bay and tidelands in such a way as to maintain options and opportunities for future use and enjoyment.

Preliminary Draft Port Master Plan Principles

North Bay

Central Bay

South Bay

1. One Bay, Rich Diversity

Promote the Bay as the central resource for the region. At the same time reinforce the differences in character and culture between each of the constituent cities, the balance between recreation, wildlife and commerce, the public and the Navy and support the needs of natural resources along with man-made investments. Continue to keep the Mixed Use Character of the Port Collaborate and include upland neighborhoods in every city One Overall Vision with local input Provide authentic celebration of all of the various cultures Elevate (Mexican, Chicano, Hispanic) expression in design Respect the historical, cultural and environmental heritage of the bay

2. Celebrate Nature, Ecology and Sustainability

Establish an Environmental Stewardship Strategy Celebrate the whole bay as an inter-related marine, estuarine, and bay ecosystem that is valued, managed, protected, and enhanced for its overall impact on biology, economic prosperity, public use and enjoyment. Have a plan for future mitigation decisions that ensures the enhancement of plant and wildlife refuges Promote biological abundance as part of a transformational vision for the Bay

Incorporate the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) and Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) Partner with the National Wildlife Refuge and US Fish and Wildlife Service Restore historical habitat types that have been lost over time Prepare for the Impact of Climate change and Sea Level Rise Design to avoid conflicts with Natural resources Integrate plans with ecologically adjacent resources Establish an Equitable Mitigation Plan Integrate the Port Master Plan, the Climate Action and Mitigation Plan and the Green Port Plan Balance economic and environmental goals Balance access with wildlife protection Include connectivity to the watersheds Consider the Scenic South Bay Vision Plan

3. Guarantee the Public Realm

Maximize Waterfront Access. The waters of San Diego Bay are the regions precious and shared asset. The design of the waters edge should respond to the multiple and different upland conditions. These range from the full potential of the North Embarcadero as a major destination, to neighborhood places like Shelter Island and the Chula Vista Bayfront, to the working waterfront and the Navy, and to quiet natural edges along the Sweetwater Wildlife Refuge. Develop a waterfront access plan that meets the needs of the upland communities. This plan should greatly increase the opportunity for direct, unencumbered and unrestricted access to the bay in as many locations as possible. This plan should map access and be enforceable Complete The Embarcadero and make it the most active place on the Waterfront Establish localized plans for each distinct area around the bay that integrates open space, water, infrastructure and development: 1. Shelter Island, Harbor Island, The Car Rental Lot, The Lagoon and Coast Guard Station 2. The North Embarcadero, Broadway Naval, Seaport Village and the Convention Center 3. The Shipyards, Working Waterfront and the Naval Slips 4. National City 5. Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan 6. Pond 20, Imperial Beach, The Silver Strand 7. Coronado

4. Create The Green Necklace: A Comprehensive Open Space Plan

Establish a plan for a continuous network that connects existing and new waterfront parks. Integrate this network with the Bayshore Bikeway, existing waterfront streets and any future Ferry routes. Create a Port Parks group to oversee this network including planning, programming, maintenance and enforcement of new water access provisions. Future open space investment should increase real estate value and increase public enjoyment of the bay Establish a port group to oversee planning, design, programming and maintenance of parks Increase recreational opportunities at the water Integrate passive, active and natural open spaces into a network Balance access with wildlife protection Elevate (Mexican, Chicano, Hispanic) expression in the design of plan elements

5. Develop a Water Plan

Future decisions consider the health of the entire bay in singularity Create a water use plan comparable to a land use plan. Use this plan to maximize deep water and dredged resources, encourage a variety of activities and entrepreneurial opportunities, organize water transportation routes, enhance recreational usage, protect and enhance natural resources, guide future decisions regarding upland uses and infrastructure needs, establish known places for free access and integrate climate change and water quality policies.
Support the Working Waterfront The North Bay, Central Bay and South Bay Promote Blue Economy and the Maritime Highway Address upland neighborhood access and other needs

6. Easy Mobility on Land and Water

Land Transportation should address all scales of users including pedestrians, bikers, autos, taxis, shuttles, buses, light rail, commuter rail, future high speed rail, freight and cargo related to the working waterfront including future rail initiatives as well as the regional freeway system and the local street network.

Water transportation should address all scales of users including swimmers, kayakers, pleasure boaters both power and sail, water taxis, ferries, commercial vessels, historic ships, industrial and cargo vessels, Cruise Ships and should coordinate with the needs and security requirements of the Navy.
Integrate land and water mobility needs into a single coordinated transportation plan. Collaborate with all necessary agencies to create coordinated policies and avoid redundant inefficiencies. Cooperate with common but differentiated responsibilities and goals

7. Balance Economics and The Public Good

Create a policy that utilizes investment in the public realm and infrastructure to create a value proposition for existing and future business growth. Address Land Use and Regulatory constraints to allow for more investment, growth in appropriate areas

Include an economic strategy to address the global network of ports Create a Transfer Pricing arrangement that is fair and equitable Development should be sustainable, addressing the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the future

Amendment Development Process

As of Right Development Process

8. Streamline the Approval Process

Create certainty throughout the approval process and reduce the time it takes for action. Use this master plan to establish known open space parcels, known development parcels with established capacities and requirements, to establish known paths and points of waterfront access and to establish known policies about mitigation and environmental policies. Outline a shorter approval process for projects that conform to the master plan and use variances judiciously. Collaborate with the approval agencies to develop both the master plan contents and the approval process that defines as-of-right proposals. Establish clear and consistent land use polices that balance public amenities and services, environmental concerns and mixed use development Create a Governance Structure to Enforce and Implement the master plan Build a collaborative relationship with agencies, city departments and community groups (Collaborate More) Policy should address 5 year, 15 year and 30 year goals Update this master plan every five years to keep current initiatives up to date
