Planning Group Information

Our Community Planning Area encompasses Crest, Dehesa, Harbison Canyon and Granite Hills.  The role of all Planning Groups in advising the County of San Diego is outlined in the county's "I-1" policy.  Below are excerpts from that policy, and the current Community Plan, describing how the Planning Group can work to improve our community.
