Join the Board

The election cycle for 2026 has concluded, and the results are in! However, due to some last-minute resignations, we have 4 seats currently open on the board. Those 3 seats which need to be filled are:

University Heights renter

Hillcrest renter

Hillcrest property owner

Uptown business owner

If you are interested in any of these seats, send us an email at Contact@uptowncommunityplanning.org, and we can provide the next steps to apply.

Welcome! The Uptown Community Planning Group serves as an advisory body to the City of San Diego. The UpCPG is the recognized community planning group (CPG) for the Uptown neighborhoods of Bankers Hill/Park West, Hillcrest, Medical Complex, Middletown, Mission Hills, and a portion of University Heights. We advise on land-use, development, and discretionary projects within these neighborhoods. We provide a platform for public discussion and engagement on planning matters that affect the community.

Our community plan builds upon the City's broader plans, such as the land use plan, mobility plan, climate action plan, and parks master plan. We do not operate in a vacuum; instead, we work to guide our community in alignment with these overarching strategies and policies.
