8-19-2026 County of San Diego Board of Supervisors Meeting - PM Session

The County of San Diego Board of Supervisors held a meeting on August 19, 2026, focusing on several key procurement and policy issues. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing amendments to the zoning ordinance related to the separate sale of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The board considered four options to support home ownership and owner occupancy, including maintaining the existing ordinance, implementing a right of first refusal for tenants or condo owners, requiring owner occupancy affidavits, and mandating a public listing period for ADU sales. After deliberation, the board unanimously approved a motion to adopt options two through four and directed staff to report back within 180 days on options to increase ADU sizes and explore deed restrictions. Additionally, the board authorized presentations from county consultants on ballot measure research and development, with a directive to compile constituent questions and provide a report by September 30, 2026. The meeting also included approval of a $240 million behavioral health wellness campus project, utilizing a progressive design-build procurement method, funded through a combination of state grants, program revenue, and bond financing. Other agenda items included authorization of tax and revenue anticipation notes up to $195.75 million for local school districts to manage cash flow needs, and the adoption of post-employment lobbying restrictions for county officials. The meeting featured extensive public comment, with discussions on transparency, enforcement challenges, and community concerns.
