Uptown Planners serves in an advisory role to the City of San Diego on topics related to land-use, development, and discretionary projects in the six neighborhoods of Uptown. Additionally, we provide a forum for public discussion of planning issues in Uptown. Our board and committee meetings welcome and are open to participation by all interested community members. We take suggestions for our agenda from residents, business owners, project applicants, and City staff who seek advice from the board as part of the City’s community planning process.
On February 6, 2017, the City posted and implemented the new Uptown Community Plan and Uptown Zoning approved last 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.
Uptown Planners is the only legally recognized community planning group (advisory board) to the City of San Diego regarding land use, development, and discretionary projects in Uptown, which includes the neighborhoods of Bankers Hill/Park West, Five Points/Middletown, Mission Hills, the Medical Complex, Hillcrest, and University Heights. Here are our organization’s bylaws.
Meetings provide an organized forum for dialogue on these issues, and topics may originate from the City, from residents and business owners, or from applicants with projects who are seeking input from the Board and the community as part of the permitting process.

Find rental real estate in Hanoi – Viet Nam
Due to the speed of urbanization, the types of rental housing in Hanoi are increasingly diverse. And currently, the market for finding residential real estate of foreigners usually focuses on the following 3 types:
private house/villa
Individual houses/villas are built on a separate land area. This land parcel is legally owned by individuals, organizations or households. Individual houses/villas for rent include independent houses, townhouses, and villas.
Villas are different from private houses in that they are considered high-class real estate. The villa is built with exquisite design and good quality structure. This is an isolated living space, built on private land, with a fence and a path around the house.
There are no specific regulations on the size of the villas. However, usually, these houses have a minimum area of 200m2. The maximum building density is about 50%.
The villa has the main house space for living. In addition, it is possible to combine rest and entertainment areas. High-class villas often have swimming pools, outdoor party areas, gardens, etc.

There are many types of apartments for rent in Hanoi, including the following features:
There are at least 2 floors or more, there are many apartments, each household lives in a separate apartment and will rent it out to others if it is not needed.
