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. Uptown is an area which includes the neighborhoods of Bankers Hill/Park West, Five Points/Middletown, Mission Hills, the Medical Complex, Hillcrest, and University Heights.
Our board meetings provide an organized forum for dialogue on these planning issues and projects and are typically scheduled the 1st Tuesday of the month (except January and July).
Meeting topics may originate from City of San Diego staff, residents, business owners, or project applicants who seek input from the board and community as part of the permitting process.
