Final Issues & Opportunities Report
The Final Issues & Opportunities Report is now available. The Issues and Opportunities Report summarizes the key issues and opportunities that have major policy implications for San Joaqin County.

Public Review Draft Background Report
The Public Review Draft Background Report is now available for review. Each chapter is available by clicking on the links in the table below. The Background Report is a compendium of information (i.e., a "snapshot") on existing conditions in the County. It provides a detailed description of a wide range of topics within the County, such as demographic and economic conditions, land use, public facilities, and environmental resources. The report provides decision-makers, community members, and local agencies with context for making policy decisions. Unlike the Policy Document, the Background Report is intended to be objective and policy-neutral. It is not intended to provide policy direction or recommendations.
The Background Report will replace Vollume III of the 2010 General Plan and be used as the existing setting section of the General Plan environmental impact report (EIR). This Report will be updated and finalized later in the process, when the EIR is drafted and the General Plan is prepared. If you have comments and feedback on the Public Review Draft Background Report, please contact Raymond Hoo, Senior Planner at 209.468.3164.
