Please park your vehicle in the proper parking zone.

  • ONLY County Vehicles should park in the County Passenger Vehicle Parking Zone and Service Vehicle Zones (Marked stalls)
  • No County Vehicles should park in Attendant Directed Parking

The Farnham Street driveway is the primary public entry. The Hazard Way gate will continue as a secondary employee and non-construction delivery entry.

  • Employees will have a choice between off-site parking and shuttle service OR 'Attendant Directed Parking' at the COC. There will be no charge for either service.
  • Construction delivery and exit route: Overland Avenue only, which will be closed to employees and visitors.
  • The San Diego County Credit Union will remain open during construction. Parking is available next to the Credit Union, with access from Farnham Way.

Attendant Directed Parking:
Attendant Directed Parking involves parking cars in a way that may block other vehicles. As a result, vehicle keys are left with the lot attendant so they can move vehicles that are blocking other vehicles.

Construction of Phase 1A Buildings is in Progress.
The County Operations Center Project began major construction operations for the first two office buildings in March 2009. The new construction will provide approximately 300,000 square feet of office space, built to LEED Silver Certification standards. This phase of construction, "Phase 1A", will include a new planning and permitting center, several Department Offices, and a Parking Structure. The Parking Structure construction began in December 2009.
