What this city changes

Checking Imperial Beach coastal and planning requirements

Imperial Beach publishes planning application instructions and a coastal map handout through its Planning Division. Ask staff whether coastal, zoning or other review applies to the specific deck and property.

If the deck adjoins a pool or access route, show gates, doors and the proposed steps on the sketch. Ask the building department which requirements apply before changing an existing barrier.

For a repair, ask the contractor to separate surface work from framing or connection work and explain how hidden damage will be addressed.
