As a city planner who works in Jakarta Capital City Government (Human Settlement, Spatial Planning and Land Department), how I wish I could visit Planning and Development Services of San Diego to exchange experiences and knowledge..

You may not get this very often with code enforcement officers but my experience with the 2 individuals, a code enforcment officer Nick and engineer code compliance grading division Alphonso were outstanding gentleman with great advice that was very beneficial! I am pleased to correct my mistake and clear it up maintaining county code rules. Thank you for the advice and understanding of my "lack of knowledge" and working things out with us. Excellent rating on these County employees

In 25 years as an architect I have never dealt with a building department that is so full of completely unqualified authoritarians. If you have any sense at all, leave San Diego County and build your house somewhere else.

I had the pleasure this week of going to the County of San Diego Planning department for the first time. I needed to get an approval on my plans to do a kitchen addition. The man and woman (sorry I forgot to get their names) that assisted me in the environmental department were the nicest, most helpful, and professional people I have worked with in a very long time!!! I was not sure what to expect since this was my first time working with the county. I want to personally thank these two employees and say the County is very fortunate to have them working there!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

We are thinking of adding an ADU for rental purposes. We understand permits have been waived for 5 years for this purpose. Is that true? Also, we live on an easement road and where we want to put the rental is approximately 15' from that.

Setbacks will be shown on the lot map for your APN. You can ask them here. For permits you will need to ask your city, or here if you are in unincorporated area.

How do I get a copy of the document showing my manufactured home is on a permanent foundation? And what is it called?

Terry D | Jul 20, 2022
Ashley Parish | Jul 20, 2022

Search by parcel # on the county website, assuming you are in a county and not city location. There should a permit record of the foundation.

Is this the office to get info on an existing house permitted info?

is a 25x125 lot on block 72 of the Morena subdivision good for one house?

It would be a big enough property to do one main residence and you could do an accessory dwelling over a garage in the rear. You could do the garage in the back with the Adu if you have Ally access. Otherwise you have to try to have a driveway go alongside the house to the back and that may make it a more difficult development.

The ADU Fee waiver Program is no longer on your Web site. Has the program been stopped. If not, what fees are now waived and what fees will be charged.

Do you have to be home for windows inspection?

Linda Dunbar | Aug 20, 2019
GARY DYER | Aug 20, 2019

Depends, they need to see the inside of the windows. If they can get inside the structure, then no need to be there. It's nice to be there and talk to inspector, those people are a wealth of info.

Is it possible to get a variance to be able to subdivide property if the acres is just short of the general plan

Victoria Huckins | Aug 20, 2019
Greg Carlton | Aug 20, 2019

yes but you would need to do a rezone

I have a patio cover and a concrete slab under the patio cover. I want to expand the patio cover. I do not want to take up the existing concrete, but expand the existing concrete slab footprint. Is that possible by pulling patio permit only?

I believe that if the total amount of sq.ft. is under 300 then you don't need a permit . But if over yes would need a permit . I'm not at the county right now but I can look into more if you would like?

Do I have the right, of setting a totally off grid cabin in my property?. I'm county, zip 92081. Just as a recreational area for my family, no permanent housing at all?.

You will need building permits for the house itself. As long as everything passes you are good to go.

If a lot is zoned R-2 can you build 4 units on it?

Susy Thomas | Aug 20, 2019
The Sherlocked | Aug 20, 2019

No, unfortunately. R2 zoning allows for two dwellings. R3 would be multi family, and depending on the sq. Ft. Of the lot, you may be able to build 4 units

how to find out accurate lot square footage?

Therese Pallares | Aug 20, 2018
Esteban Gonzalez | Aug 20, 2018

Most of those answers can be found at the county recorders office. If the property has been surveyed. The Sqft should be spot on.
