Checking floodplain review for a Mission Valley deck
The City of San Diego describes the Mission Valley planning area as part of the San Diego River floodplain. That description does not establish flood status for every parcel.
Give Development Services the property address and proposed deck location. Ask whether floodplain or other environmental review applies to the particular work before setting supports or changing grade.
For a deck over a room or another unit, ask the professional to assess waterproofing, drainage and rail penetrations together. If the building is shared, confirm who can approve exterior work.
