| Objective | |
|---|---|
|
Identify a process to determine the best land use for developing nine acres comprising Alcalá Park West as a mixed-use "college town" to serve both campus community and adjacent neighborhoods. Development should include revenue-generating opportunities that are mission and land use compatible with the university, the Linda Vista community, the Morena business district, and the city of San Diego. | |
| Alcalá Park West Committee | |
|
Carmen Vazquez, Vice President for Student Affairs, and Roger Manion, Assistant Vice President for Capital Planning, serve as co-chairs of the Alcalá Park West Committee. Committee members include faculty, administrators, and students with interest and knowledge relevant to developing this property. | |
| Progress | |
| • | Examined earlier studies of land use and traffic impact; determined that zoning and traffic flow will accommodate the types of development envisioned. |
| • | Reviewed a case study of the area undertaken by students in Sherman Harmer's real estate class "Urban and Suburban Development" during Spring 2012. |
| • | Consulted with Jeffrey A. Steindorf, Campus Planner at University of California, San Diego, and William D. Jones, President/CEO of CityLink Investment Corporation, who recommended working with partners to develop the property based on a market-driven analysis of needs and options. |
| • | Drafted a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking a consultant to conduct an extensive property analysis, needs assessment, and market analysis of Alcalá Park West and the surrounding communities. |
| Timeline | |
| • | Spring 2013: Sherman Harmer's real estate class "Urban and Suburban Development" will repeat the case study of Alcalá Park West with a market-driven focus. |
| • | A specific timeline for proceeding with this project will be developed when the new Vice President for Business and Administration joins USD on January 28. |
| Measurable Indicators | |
| • | To be determined in conjunction with the timeline. |
