History of the Central Commercial Maintenance Assessment District

The Central Commercial Maintenance Assessment District (CCMAD) was officially established by City Council Resolution R-201471 on August 8, 2000, in accordance with Proposition 218. The District was formed following a successful assessment ballot proceeding approved by local property owners.

Located within the Southeastern San Diego Community Planning Area, the District includes:

  • Imperial Avenue from Interstate 5 to 32nd Street
  • Commercial Avenue from Interstate 5 to 28th Street
  • National Avenue from 28th Street to 32nd Street
  • All side streets between Imperial Avenue and Commercial Avenue, from Interstate 5 to 28th Street

The District is funded through special assessments paid by property owners. These funds support services that improve the cleanliness, safety, and appearance of the area, including:

  • Sidewalk and public right-of-way cleaning
  • Litter and illegal-dumping abatement
  • Graffiti removal
  • Tree trimming and weed abatement
  • Public trash can servicing
  • Community beautification efforts

Management and Services

Effective July 1, 2026, Logan Heights Community Development Corporation (LHCDC) began providing management, community outreach, and stakeholder-engagement services for the Central Commercial Maintenance Assessment District.

The City of San Diego oversees the District’s administration and contracts with Urban Corps of San Diego County to perform maintenance and beautification services.

District activities are guided by the CCMAD Advisory Committee and may also be discussed during Logan Heights Small Business Advisory Committee meetings.
