San Diego County's Board of Supervisors, City Council, and Planning Commission handle rezonings, general plan amendments, and conditional use permits across the region. Life science and tech campus entitlements concentrate in Sorrento Valley and the UTC (University City) area near UC San Diego. North County communities - Oceanside, Carlsbad, and San Marcos - generate steady residential growth filings and transit-oriented proposals near Coaster and Sprinter stations. CEQA review and community plan amendment processes add substantial timeline to major projects. Cross-border logistics facility CUPs near the Otay Mesa Port of Entry represent a distinct category of industrial entitlement activity.
