Deck builders in San Ysidro, CA.
Ask the City of San Diego which planning reviews apply to the property.
What should San Ysidro homeowners consider?
For a South County project, sketch the route from the house to the yard and note gates, utilities and access for materials. The contractor can assess the existing structure and proposed footprint.
Checking San Ysidro planning before a deck change
The City of San Diego identifies San Ysidro as a city community planning area and publishes both a community plan and a Historic Village Specific Plan. Ask Development Services whether the property is within any applicable plan area and what that means for the proposed deck.
If the building or location is subject to historic review, ask staff what information is needed before changing an exterior deck. Do not assume a home has historic status based on its neighborhood or age alone.
Provide the address, proposed footprint and available plans when asking the city about building permits and any separate planning review.
