Land Development Code Updates in Process

The Land Development Code (LDC) contains regulations for the development and use of property, including zoning, subdivisions and other related land use activities. The City Planning Department monitors and continually updates the code to simplify and streamline the permitting processes, assure compliance with state and federal regulations, eliminate unnecessary barriers, redundancies and contradictions, and align the code with the City's climate, equity, and housing goals.

For questions about LDC updates, please email developmentcode@sandiego.gov.

Regular Land Development Code Update

The City Planning Department continually monitors and updates the Land Development Code (LDC) through a regular LDC Update process to ensure that the regulations for developing and using property within the City are easy to understand, current, and align with City policies. Questions and comments are welcome and may be submitted by email at developmentcode@sandiego.gov.  

Current Single- Issue Updates

The City Planning Department processes single-issue updates and amendments to the LDC as needed. For various reasons, including time sensitivity and/or complexity, single-issue updates may be processed separately from a comprehensive code update.

There are no single-issue LDC updates currently being processed.
