Mid-City Communities
Plan Update
At the March 19, Planning Commission workshop, the Planning Commission did not approve either of the Planning Department's concepts for upzoning large areas of San Diego's Mid-City neighborhoods.
Commissioners generally said they were looking for a more balanced approach—focusing growth along major corridors while transitioning into existing neighborhoods.
Mid-City Communities include: Normal Heights, Kensington, Talmadge, City Heights, El Cerito, and Easter Area (Rolando, Rolando Park, Redwood Village, Oak Park, Webster). The process is still ongoing.
For the most recent updates on the Mid-City Communities Plan Update, please visit the Kensington-Talmadge Planning Group at ktpg.org.

And, now, San Diego is on track to force through a destructive Community Plan that will eliminate most single-family zoning in Mid-City neighborhoods.
If approved, this cannot be undone. Ever.
