FAQ
What is CEQA?
The California Environmental Quality Act requires public agencies to disclose and mitigate environmental impacts of discretionary projects. San Diego CEQA documents range from a Notice of Exemption to a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
When do I need a Coastal Development Permit in San Diego?
Most development between the sea and the inland Coastal Zone boundary — including additions, demolitions, and grading — requires a CDP from the City, County, or California Coastal Commission.
What is MSCP?
The Multiple Species Conservation Program is San Diego's regional habitat conservation plan. Projects affecting sensitive habitats typically require an MSCP consistency review and may need biological mitigation.
