People in Barrio Logan lack the voice on development matters afforded to 42 other sectors of the cities. Now they're ready to change that.

Interested community members will meet Friday to solidify the parameters of forming a community planning group. They plan to nail down geographic boundaries and create a set of bylaws.

City Attorney Mike Aguirre pledged his support to the nascent planning group earlier this month, though other city officials in the planning department said they would prefer to appoint a stakeholders group that includes residents and business and land owners to advise them as they update the sector's community plan.
