General Plan Vision
San Juan's General Plan was adopted to preserve and enhance the present character of our historical and rural village-like community with abundant open space. This character is reflected in balancing development with the preservation of our natural resources, historical heritage and natural beauty. We must only amend the General Plan when the benefits to the community justify such actions.
