On February 6, 2017, the City posted and implemented the new Uptown Community Plan and Uptown Zoning
approved the previous November, but only as separate documents. Therefore, it is necessary to consult both documents for any zoning question and, if there is a conflict, to submit a request to the Planning Department
and/or the Development Services Department to explain how to resolve it. More information will be posted as it is made available here or on the City’s website, https://www.sandiego.gov/planning/community/profiles/uptown.
Note: The Brown Act is a state law that governs "legislative bodies," such as Uptown Planners, to maintain transparency and accountability (GC §54950-54963). To help ensure against "serial communications" or deliberations outside of public meetings, it is requested that all communications be sent directly to the chair (by way of the contact information at the top of this page), as this person is designated to distribute information to everyone on the board. Thank you for your assistance.
