as of 2019 (The City of San Diego Website, n.d.).

guide future growth and development. Everything has been covered, from commercial to
residential housing.
3. Land Use Element
• Residential houses cover most of San Diego.
• It covers about 60% of the city’s total area.
• Business areas including commercial employment, services, and retail cover only about
5% of the entire city’s area.
• About 15% of the city’s total area is under military use.
