For a Central San Diego project, start with the existing house connection, access and intended use. Conditions vary by property, so ask the contractor to inspect the specific site.
Planning a Tierrasanta deck on a sloped lot
The city's Tierrasanta community plan includes hillside design proposals that consider natural contours, drainage and limiting grading. These are planning context, not proof that a particular deck needs a special review.
If the yard slopes, show the designer the existing grade and where water currently flows. Compare a layout that follows the slope with one needing more excavation, and ask how each would affect support locations and drainage.
Give Development Services the parcel address and proposed work, including any grading, and ask which current requirements apply. For an existing deck, ask a qualified professional to assess accessible supports and the house connection before choosing what to retain.
