Planning Concepts
The Master Facilities Plan of 1986 set forth certain planning concepts to develop a comprehensive solution to enhance the functional and aesthetic needs of Del Mar College. Since the adoption by the College, many of the 1986 Plan recommendations have been implemented. This report will capitalize on the advances since from the 1986 Plan and respond to the challenges the College now faces because of technology and the changes in deliver of services to its students and the community.
1. LAND ACQUISITION After 1986 land was purchased for parking along Edwards Street, bounded by Naples and Ayers. In addition, a strip of property along Ayers was acquired. These purchases formed a rectangular campus bounded by Baldwin, Naples, Edwards, and Ayers Streets. Subsequent purchases included a former grocery store site northwest of the Campus opposite the Edwards/Ayers intersection. More recently, the College acquired a grouping of residential lots at the southeast of the campus along the York Street a cul-de-sac. It is not anticipated that additional land would be needed within the planning period.
