Working together, SANDAG staff, local planning directors, stakeholders, and SANDAG's
Regional Planning Committee have identified approximately 200 existing, planned, and
potential smart growth areas in the San Diego region. The purpose of this presentation is to
ensure that local city councils are aware of the smart growth areas identified in their
