KTPG Governance

The Kensington-Talmadge Planning Group has been formed and recognized by the City Council to make recommendations to the City Council, Planning Commission, City staff, and other governmental agencies on land use matters, specifically concerning the preparation of, adoption of, implementation of, or amendment to, the General Plan or a land use plan when a plan relates to matters within the Kensington-Talmadge community boundaries.

The Kensington-Talmadge Planning Group is bound by specific policies.  These include, but are not limited to:

• Ralph M. Brown Act - which requires that meetings of the planning group are open and accessible to the public
• Council Policy 600-24 -which provides "Standard Operating Procedures and Responsibilities of Recognized Community Planning Groups"
• Administrative Guidelines for Council Policy 600-24 - which provide explanations of the Policy's minimum standard operating procedures and responsibilities of this planning group
• The Kensington-Talmadge Planning Group Bylaws - which are based upon a standard template provided by the City of San Diego.  Modifications are approved by the KTPG and then the City of San Diego.

Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised is used when the Policy, the Administrative Guidelines, and the bylaws do not address an area of concern or interest.

The City of San Diego council adopted the current General Plan Update in 2008.  Kensington and Talmadge also fall under the Mid City Communities Plan, which was adopted in 1998.
