The Forest Conservation Initiative (FCI) was a voter-approved initiative which required that approximately 70,000 acres of private lands within the Cleveland National Forest in San Diego County have a minimum lot size of 40 acres. The FCI was originally approved in 1993 and expired on December 31, 2010. Upon the expiration of the FCI, land in the affected areas reverted to the land use designations under the pre- FCI General Plan. The General Plan Update changes the General Plan land use framework and guiding principles. The land use map changes proposed by the General Plan Update excluded FCI lands. Therefore, the pre- FCI General Plan land use designations applied to the former FCI lands are not consistent with the General Plan Update. To correct these inconsistencies the County Department of Planning and Land Use is undertaking planning efforts to appropriately re-designate these lands.
