Barrio Logan Community Plan and Zoning Program Update
The City of San Diego, California
Submittal Deadline: August 21, 2007

Background
The community of Barrio Logan includes approximately 1,000 acres located
between downtown San Diego and the Interstate 5 freeway along San Diego
Bay. The predominately Hispanic community includes 3,600 residents and
has a diversified land use character with a mixture of residential,
commercial business, light and heavy industrial land uses, governmental
agencies as well as major maritime industries.

Land use in Barrio Logan is governed by the Barrio Logan/Harbor 101
Community Plan and Local Coastal Program and the Barrio Logan Planned
District Ordinance (PDO). The 1978 Barrio Logan/Harbor 101 Community
Plan and Local Coastal Program is one of over 40 community plans within
the City of San Diego which augment the land use element of the City's
Progress Guide and General Plan. As policy documents, community plans
provide goals and objectives for development of communities and
designate where specific land uses should go. The Barrio Logan Planned
District Ordinance is a tailored zoning ordinance for Barrio Logan which
identifies permitted uses and development regulations for new
development. The Barrio Logan/Harbor 101 Community Plan and Local
Coastal Program and the PDO are coordinated with those of other
jurisdictions, most notably the Port of San Diego which administers the
area generally west of Harbor Drive.

Due to their age and conditions in effect at the time, the Barrio
Logan/Harbor 101 Community Plan and PDO permit multiple land uses to
co-locate throughout the community which has contributed to incompatible
land uses being located in close proximity to each other (i.e.
single-family residences located adjacent to heavy industrial
development). Recent cases of heavy metals being identified in
residential areas have raised the awareness of the situation and
generated interest in engaging in a public dialogue about appropriate
land use patterns in the area. In addition, development pressure, in
part promulgated by construction of the new downtown ballpark, further
point to the need to refine land uses in the area.

Scope of Work
The City of San Diego City Planning & Community Investment Department
(CPCI) is embarking on the comprehensive update of the Barrio
Logan/Harbor 101 Community Plan/Local Coastal Program and Zoning
Program. The Request for Proposals (RFP) solicits a consultant firm or
team to perform and complete specified tasks and projects in relation
the Barrio Logan/Harbor 101 Community Plan and Local Coastal Program
update process. A multi-disciplinary consulting team is desired to work
with staff on the work program. The work program is anticipated to be
completed over 28 months from when the consultant contract is finalized.

The City is seeking requests for proposals from firms or teams of
consultants with expertise in the following disciplines: Urban planning
(lead firm): Preparation of general and area plans under California
Planning Law; Urban design: Analysis and projection of urban form at
skyline and pedestrian scales as well as public recreational space;
Meeting facilitation; Sustainable design and development principals;
Zoning regulations and ordinances; Public facilities, parks systems
strategies and phasing plans; GIS mapping and 3D visualization; Visual
preference survey; Mobility planning and traffic studies; Historical
