Shelter Island, San Diego
Shelter Island is a neighborhood of Point Loma in San Diego, California. It is actually not an island but is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. It was originally a sandbank in San Diego Bay, visible only at low tide. It was built up into dry land using material dredged from the bay in 1934.〔("YACHTING: Its History In San Diego" ), ''Journal of San Diego History'', Fall 1974, Volume 20, Number 4.〕 It was developed in the 1950s and contains hotels, restaurants, marinas, and public parkland.
Shelter Island is owned and controlled by the Port of San Diego, which also provides all police and other public services. Shelter Island businesses lease their location from the Port.〔(San Diego Port Tenants Association )〕 Under California law, property on Shelter Island cannot be sold and permanent residences cannot be built there, because the area falls under the law governing public tidelands.〔(Limitations on State Disposal of Lands )〕
The "island" is long and only a few hundred feet wide. A single street, Shelter Island Drive, runs the length of Shelter Island and also connects it to the mainland via a causeway lined with marine-related businesses.
==History and development==
Shelter Island was first recorded on a United States coast and geodetic map as a "mudbank". It was gradually formed by deposit of soil and sand from the San Diego River. The sandbar was used to dump materials from dredging of San Diego Bay for US Navy requirements in World War II which required a deepening of the harbor channel, further building it up. In the late 1940s The San Diego Harbor Commission undertook a dredging program that provided a new entrance to the yacht basin, and the dredged material was used to connect Shelter Island with Point Loma, and to further raise the island 14 feet above low tide; then another project raised it 7 feet above high tide. In 1960, the media described Shelter Island as "something from nothing", "a testimonial to human ingenuity", and "a man made wonderland of sub-tropical splendor".〔Los Angeles Times, 10-9-1960, "Shelter Island Result of Man's Ingenuity", ()〕 Per a special city overlay zone, all buildings on Shelter Island are supposed to follow a "Polynesian" or "tiki" theme, which was very popular in the 1950s when the area was first developed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shelter Island Hotels San Diego )〕
