	Community Plan and Local Coastal Program A community plan is a public document which contains specific proposals for future land uses and public improvements in a given community. A community plan is part of the City’s General Plan. It provides tailored policies and a long-range physical development guide for elected officials and citizens engaged in community development. The California Coastal Act of 1976 mandates that all designated coastal areas develop a Local Coastal Program which is consistent with state-wide goals and objectives. The plan provides specific guidelines for the redevelopment of that area of the community which lies within the coastal zone boundary. La Jolla Community Plan and Local Coastal Program General Zoning Regulations (aka Municipal Code) For those portions of La Jolla outside of La Jolla Shores and the commercial areas of the Village and along La Jolla Bouelvard, the zoning regulations are the same as for zoning throughout the City of San Diego. Zoning Maps City of San Diego Municipal Code Planned Districts Planned districts means any legally described geographic area which has historical significance or serves as an established neighborhood or community. The plan must be detailed enough (that is offer detailed zoning regulations) to permit the evaluation of proposed development controls for the District. La Jolla has two planned districts. The La Jolla Planned District which covers the commercial and multi-family development in the Village and along La Jolla Bouleavrd and the La Jolla Shores Planned District which covers all of the commercial, visitor-serving, and residential areas in La Jolla Shores.
