Government

Representatives of the unincorporated areas of the county are given the opportunity to advise and assist the Director of Planning, the Zoning Administrator, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors in the preparation, amendment and implementation of community and sub-regional plans.

The principal function of a sponsor group is to be an information link between the community and the County of San Diego on matters dealing with planning and the use of land in their community. The group will provide a public forum for the discussion of planning issues which are important to the community. All meetings shall be open to the public, held in a public place, and the agenda shall be published in advance according to Brown Act provisions.

Nominations for membership may be solicited from the community-at-large, by planning staff, and/or the staff of a Supervisor's office. Each member must be at least 18 years of age, a registered voter, live in the community, and appointed by the Board of Supervisors. New members cannot participate in as a group member until the Board of Supervisors appointment has taken place.
