As established by the Otay Mesa Community Plan, five districts comprise the community of Otay Mesa. Within the Southwest District is the Southwest Village Specific Plan Area, which consists of approximately 490 acres of undeveloped land, located east of Interstate 805, just south of State Route 905 and west of Caliente Avenue.
A critical component of the Otay Mesa Community Plan, the Southwest Village Specific Plan was envisioned as a compact, active area that creates sustainable and efficient land use patterns, is pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented and embraces a variety of land uses including residential and commercial uses, community facilities encompassing schools and parks, and permanently protected open space.
The Southwest Village Specific Plan, like the adopted Central Village Specific Plan, will detail design guidelines for the development of village areas and include specifics on the community’s village core, public spaces, multi-modal circulation system, transit sites, public facilities and amenities.
