What is a Focused Planning Area?
The Focused Planning Area (FPA) is the area of focus for the San Dieguito River Park’s acquisition and planning efforts. It is the area of jurisdiction for the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority. The FPA roughly corresponds to the viewshed of the San Dieguito River Valley and its tributary streams – that is, what you could see if you were standing on the valley floor. The Focused Planning Area has been adopted by the six member agencies of the JPA as a regional park planning boundary. It is important to understand that San Dieguito River Park development projects and user activities are limited to public lands and also to private lands whose owners have given written consent. Mere inclusion in the FPA does not indicate that private property is part of the Park and does not in any way affect the private property rights of the owner.
