Checking special planning designations for a Jamul deck
A 2019 county staff report about a commercial project on specific Jamul-Dulzura parcels discusses a special area designator and site-plan review. This historical commercial example does not establish that the same requirements apply to a residential deck or any other parcel.
Give county planning staff the actual address or parcel number and ask whether any special designator or other planning condition applies to the proposed footprint. Ask what information they need before selecting the location.
Separately ask the building office what plans or permits the deck requires. Include any changes to stairs or existing supports in the description of work.
Local reference: San Diego County 2019 Jamul-Dulzura planning report.
