November 11, 2026 update from UC Fire Safe Council President Diane Ahern: In light of the pending 2027 City of San Diego General Plan Amendment which includes state-mandated updates to the safety element and information about evacuation routes and constraints, the University City Fire Safe Council has withdrawn its draft CWPP 2026 update.. We plan to submit a 2027 CWPP update once the City of San Diego 2027 General Plan Amendment (with evacuation route information) has been adopted by City Council.
Draft 2027 General Plan Amendment is Available for Public Review and Comment

The 2026 draft CWPP for University City is currently under review by the San Diego Fire Safe Council CWPP Review Committee.
The University City FSC is updating the 2021 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The 2026 CWPP changes are necessary in light of new fire safe laws and operations including Genasys Protect Evacuation Planning, Zone 0 Vegetation Management, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
The University City Fire Safe Council is updating the Community Wildfire Protection Plan collaboratively with input from residents and community members, the City of San Diego Fire-Rescue Department and federal, state, county, and City of San Diego management agencies. The Fire Safe Council’s CWPP development team thanks representatives from the agencies and community groups who support our efforts.
The Community Wildfire Protection Plan is a blueprint for fire prevention and preparedness at the neighborhood level. The CWPP organizes our community’s efforts to protect our community from both structural fires and wildfires, and empowers residents and community members to move in a cohesive, common direction.
The Fire Safe Council invites the public to review the 2026 update to the University City Wildfire Protection Plan and to provide feedback and suggestions.
