When I was inspecting my plants last night, I noticed a yellow/green mottled new leaf. Further inspection showed a leaf with one large and several small spots. Am I dealing with septoria leaf spot? Should I pull the plant?

Hard to tell from the picture, it may be early signs of Septoria or even Early Blight, but why would you pull a plant for Septoria or Early Blight anyway? Both are controllable with fungicides. Septoria and Early Blight usually starts at oldest leaves first and works its way up during the season

Remove and destroy the diseased leaves and then spray with fungicide.

The plant is in a community garden in which I am restricted to organic controls. I have Serenade though, so I'll give that a shot.

Liquid copper might help and so might a sodium bicarbonate product, I believe both are ok'd for organic production. One brand that is organic is garden safe and I think bonine makes some products you could try also.
