Examples of physical features defining a neighborhood boundary: ■ Natural neighborhood dividing lines, such as highway or major roads, rivers, canals and/or hills ■ Areas around parks or schools ■ Other neighborhood landmarks In the absence of public testimony, planning records and other similar documents may provide definition. Beyond Neighborhoods: Defining Communities of Interest 1St Question: What defines your community? ■ Geographic Area, plus ■ Shared issue or characteristic ■ Shared social or economic interest ■ Impacted by city or county policies ■ Tell us "your community's story" 2nd Question: Would this community benefit from being "included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation"? ■ Or would it benefit more from having multiple representatives? Definitions of Communities of Interest may not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates. Beyond Neighborhoods: Communities Under the California Elections Code, "community of interest" has a very specific definition in the context of districting and redistricting cities and counties: A "community of interest" is a population that shares common social or economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Communities of interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.
