Rick Urban Design and Planning provided guidelines for future public and private development of the 1,500-acre Sabre Springs community of graceful rolling hills and serene residential neighborhoods through this comprehensive amendment. The plan embodies a lengthy, coordinated planning process that required review and approval by the City of San Diego’s Planning Department, the Sabre Springs Community Planning Group, the Planning Commission and by City Council. Analysis of the existing and proposed land uses, zoning, and physical design considerations codified residential dwelling units, open space, parks, and industrial, commercial and community facilities.

In order to maintain the natural beauty of the rolling topography, special design consideration was given to the roadway networks, resource management, grading concepts, riparian habitat, and vehicular and pedestrian systems.

Rick Urban Design/Planning coordinated the resources of Rick Engineering Company’s multiple departments and supported the plan proposal with traffic analysis, aerial photography, and technical graphics.
