The Downtown Community Planning Council (DCPC) will hold its election for new members on
Wednesday, March 2.
Elections are held annually, and the seats are for two-year terms. There are 12 seats up for this election cycle that will serve the duration of the 2-year term through March 2024.
The DCPC serves as the official planning group for Downtown San Diego. The group is made up of 19 volunteers each elected for a two year term to represent Downtown homeowners and tenants, commercial property owners and businesses and community organizations. The group provides a means for public participation relating to the growth and development of Downtown and serves
as a communications link to the Planning Commission and City Council.
DCPC meets monthly to review design proposals, conditional use permits, development and loan agreements and other downtown development policies and programs such as affordable housing, parking, transportation needs, street lighting, homelessness and social issues. Council Members are expected to attend regular meetings and subcommittee meetings to maintain membership on
the council.
