Marina
Neighborhood Intelligence

CivicScout counts San Diego Police Department offense reports that carry a map location inside the Marina police-neighborhood outline. Citywide, about 3% of offense reports, and about the same share of reports of serious violent crime (about 1 in 8 rape reports), carries no map location and is not counted, and the newest weeks are still being filled in as reports are approved, so the counts understate crime, violent crime included, and cannot show that an area has little of it. Sex offenses are shown at block level, about 100 meters, without a case number. The department’s own process entries (mental-health holds, warrants, probation and parole lines, citations and infractions) are not counted. Incidents handled by other police agencies do not appear: federal military bases, the airport and the Port of San Diego tidelands (the Port’s Harbor Police), UC San Diego and San Diego State University (campus police), the City, Mesa and Miramar colleges, the California Highway Patrol on the freeways, the Sheriff in the unincorporated county, and the police departments of Coronado, National City, Chula Vista and the other neighboring cities. The Embarcadero waterfront, inside this area, is Port of San Diego tidelands policed by the Port’s Harbor Police, so incidents there are not in the SDPD feed. In Marina, about 1 in 11 offense reports here (an estimate) carries no map location and is not counted, more than the city's share, so the count here understates crime more than most places.

Permits issued in Marina over the past year, still open, are mostly in the category building permits. The City’s permit data holds almost none on the north Embarcadero (Port of San Diego tidelands), inside this area. The absence of permits there is not a finding about construction. San Diego’s permit data covers about the past 21 months and leaves out trade, sign, traffic-control and right-of-way permits; a permit with no map location (about 1 in 400 active permits) is not counted in any neighborhood.

Zoning in Marina is mostly Centre City Planned District and Marina Planned District, by area; the exact district varies by parcel.

A CivicScout report for any Marina address combines permits, police reports, 311 requests, parks and zoning within a half mile. San Diego’s 311 data (Get It Done) shows only open requests from the past 90 days, so a request that has been resolved is not shown and an address with none listed may still have had one.
