The La Jolla Community Planning Association is the sole La Jolla organization recognized by the City of San Diego to make recommendations on land use matters on behalf of the residents, merchants, and property owners of La Jolla.
However, La Jolla has a rich heritage of other organizations that offer opportunity for like-minded individuals to pursue their particular vision of La Jolla or focus on their particular neighborhoods.
As a courtesy to the community and those organizations we offer this listing but take no responsibility for the content of their websites.
