WPC 3126H -2- AT'TA(:;HMENT Landscape Master Plan San Diego Gas & Electric South Bay Power Plant Chula Vista, California VAN DYKE &ASSOCIATES SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC SOt.JTH BAY POWER PLANT - CHULA VISTA. CALIFORNIA Statement of Purpose San Diego Gas and Electric Company, in cooperation with the City of Chula Vista, has initiated a visual enhancement program for the South Bay Power Plant. Located in an area of emerging quality development, the power plant lacks an attractive visual quality present in adjacent public and private develGpment. In early 1986, San Diego Gas and Electric retained the services of Van Dyke and Associates, Landscape Architect, to prepare a preliminary visual analysis and concepts for land forms, landscape screening and other enhancements of the property to reduce the visual impact of the power plant structure and other facilities from public view. These concepts were prioritized and presented to the City of Chula Vista and subsequently became the basis for an agreement between the City and San Diego Gas and Electric. The enclosed Master Plan identifies twelve priority projects to be completed in three phases commencing in 1987, 1988 and 1989, totaling $1.3 miIlion. The Master Landscape Plan identifies the specific areas of proposed improvements, materials and the design concept for each area. It is the intent of San Diego Gas and Electric to complete all proposed improvements by late 1988.
