Barrio Logan’s proximity to the San Diego Bay, large military presence, industrial business concentration, cultural heritage and burgeoning arts community means there are a number of stakeholders in this neighborhood, including: the U.S. Navy; the San Diego Port Tenants Association; the Port of San Diego Ship Repair Association; the Barrio Logan Association, which operates the Barrio Logan Maintenance Assessment District; the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce; the Environmental Health Coalition; the Chicano Park Steering Committee; the youth-focused nonprofit Barrio Station, and the Barrio Art Association.
Barrio Logan’s unusual mix of low- and mid-income residential properties interspersed with commercial, industrial and military operations has long been a source of controversy. The June 2014 primary included two propositions, Prop B and Prop C, that would allow for a new Barrio Logan Community Plan to address land use, urban design, public facilities, noise and historic preservation in the community.
