[quote=bearishgurl]UCGal, it would be interesting to know why the City annexed this zip code to themselves and then gave up the inner rectangle with 4S in it while retaining their areas on the west, south and east of it (northern boundary is the lake).
sdlookup refers to the zip as “West Rancho Bernardo” (a community of San Diego).
There was a LOT of money on the table there in teeter funds from property taxes AND CFD monies for police and fire protection.
I don’t understand why the Council let it go. They couldn’t have been feeling too flush what with the Grand Jury investigation into improper voting by the Retirement Board and other assorted “scandals” going on at the time.
It would also be interesting to hear the tape(s) of the Council mtgs where this issue was discussed. What was going thru their minds??
4S homeowners obviously had little, if any say in this as it had to have been decided early on, prior to most of the development there.
If any of the 92127 area is “pink” on a current Thomas Zip Code Guide, the City will have the right to retain the jurisdiction in the future if it is not already incorporated.[/quote]
BG –
The post office (Feds) determine zip code boundaries. Not the city.
They have some correlation – but not one to one – in guessing government jurisdiction.
I think you’re confusing things when you look at it strictly by zipcode.
I was curious – so I looked for a map of the city of san diego boundaries… As I said – I don’t know how accurate it is – but it seems accurate. It also roughly matches what I saw on the city website. http://www.sandiego.gov/citycouncil/
Another common mistake is to assume school districts follow city boundaries. They don’t. Parts of PQ are in PUSD. Carmel Valley is not in SDUSD even though it’s part of the city.
