Several other controversies are part of the redistricting discussions, including a proposal to sharply redraw boundaries in the southern and central parts of the city to create one heavily Black district and two heavily Latino districts.
A group of vocal UC San Diego students is lobbying city officials to sever the school’s longtime political and social connections to La Jolla so the university can align with the Convoy District and nearby areas with significant Asian populations.
There’s also an alternative proposal that would create a new district focused on three of San Diego’s main commercial thoroughfares: Adams Avenue, El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue. The nine-member panel is scheduled to approve a preliminary map by Nov. 15 and then gather comments about it at five public meetings before a final vote Dec. 15.
The need to shrink District 1 is helping to propel the campaign to remove UCSD, University City and Carmel Valley, which are now included in that district with La Jolla. “This district would reflect the breadth and diversity of our community, from the cultural hub in the Convoy District, through residential neighborhoods of all income levels and housing types, to the academic institution that brought so many of us to the region and continues to provide opportunity,” said Kathleen Dang, vice president of a nonprofit Asian advocacy group.
The proposal would require shifting Mount Hope and Ridgeview to District 4, Normal Heights to District 9, Golden Hill to District 8, Southcrest and Shelltown to District 9 and Mission Valley east of Interstate 15 to District 3.
