Map My City

Every parcel, one search.

In production · internal

  • Every parcel in San Jacinto. All 18,459, one search away.

    Map My San Jacinto with City Hall selected on aerial imagery: County assessor details on the left, and the parcel lookup listing zoning, districts and city services on the right.

  • Search any address or APN. Zoning, services, hazards and assessor records in one click.

    Looking up City Hall in Map My San Jacinto: from the street map with nothing selected, a loosely typed address, 595 south san jacinto av, brings up the City Hall suggestion; picking it zooms the map to City Hall, fills the lookup rows and opens the County Assessor panel, then Report opens the one-page property report.

  • Zoning, land use and hazard layers, plus twelve years of aerial imagery on one slider.

    Map layers in Map My San Jacinto: a neighborhood on its 2014 aerial imagery with no layer on, then Zoning is turned on from the Layer List and the legend lists the three zones in view, then the imagery slider is dragged from 2014 to 2026 as the empty lots fill with homes.

  • Measure distance and area right on the map.

    The Measure tool in Map My San Jacinto beside City Hall: a line along two streets reads 690 feet, then a polygon traced around the Civic Center block reads 87,810 square feet.

  • Pick parcels, style them, and print a planning exhibit.

    Create Map in Map My San Jacinto: a rectangle drag picks three City-owned parcels, Create Map builds the exhibit, a hatch fill and the Planning template are applied, and the sheet scrolls to its title block with the City seal.

  • Draw a radius, find every neighbor, print hearing-notice labels.

    A 300-foot proximity buffer around a school parcel in Map My San Jacinto, then the Avery mailing labels with private owners blurred and public agencies readable, then the printable site map with the 300-foot radius.

  • Map My City at a glance.

    Residents and staff need fast, self-serve answers about any parcel: zoning, city services, hazards, and assessor records in one place.

Green Check

Can a cannabis business go here?

Pilot · internal preview

  • Can a cannabis business go here? Ask the map.

    Green Check after a hand measurement on aerial imagery: the line from the building to the neighboring lot reads 101 feet, and the Microbusiness verdict reads Eligible, the residence row marked Measured by hand.

  • Pick a license type, search an address, get a verdict in about two seconds.

    Green Check: Manufacturing is picked as the license type, a misspelled address is typed, the corrected suggestion for an industrial parcel is chosen, and the verdict reads Eligible with every requirement met.

  • Every rule checked against schools, day cares, youth centers and homes, with the distance drawn on the map.

    Green Check’s automatic verdict at 438 S State St: Not Eligible for Microbusiness, the building 95 feet from a residence, with the measured line and the 100-foot exclusion zone on the map.

  • Several buildings on one parcel? Choose the one that will house the business.

    Green Check at a commercial parcel with three buildings: hovering two rows of the list highlights their buildings on the map, hovering the largest building on the map highlights its row, then that building is chosen and the verdict reads Eligible.

  • Disagree with a distance? Measure it yourself, and the verdict updates.

    Verifying a distance in Green Check: from Not Eligible at 95 feet, the line’s far endpoint is dragged to the property line, the distance reads 101 feet, and after Complete the verdict changes to Eligible.

  • Green Check at a glance.

    Checking whether a cannabis business can open at an address means cross-referencing zoning and buffer rules by hand. Green Check does it in one search.

Next: Yard Plan

Yard Plan

Sketch a front yard without CAD.

In development

  • A front yard, drawn to scale on high resolution aerial imagery.

    Yard Plan in dark mode at City Hall: a turf strip and a concrete area traced on aerial imagery, with the Yard Composition panel showing their square footage and the concrete share.

  • Trace turf and concrete. Corners snap to each other.

    Drawing in Yard Plan’s dark mode: four corners trace a turf strip, then a concrete area whose corner snaps to the turf’s corner, and the panel tallies 1,914 square feet of turf, 3,544 of concrete and 65 percent concrete.

  • Square footage and concrete share update as you draw.

    Close-up of Yard Plan’s Yard Composition panel in dark mode: a corner of the concrete area is dragged out while the rows, the total and the donut follow live, from 65 to 71 percent concrete.

  • Download a PDF, or send a link that carries the whole plan.

    Close-up of Yard Plan’s Download and Share panel in dark mode: PDF report, GeoJSON, Copy Link and Print, then Copy Link and the confirmation that the shareable link was copied.

  • Yard Plan at a glance.

    Empowers homeowners to show the Planning Department how much of a front yard will be turf versus hardscape, so they can stay up to code without learning CAD.
