Amador County – The Amador County joint panel on the General Plan Update reconvenes Wednesday, June 29, and will review the “Preliminary Draft Implementation Plan,” along with an “Industrial” land use designation in the Carbondale Road and Michigan Bar Road areas.

The Amador County Planning Department announced the meeting in a report issued Thursday, that said the “remaining item which is the focus of this meeting is the review of the Preliminary Draft Implementation Plan. The information in the Preliminary Draft General Plan document and the Goals and Policies have all been reviewed at previous meetings so their review is expected to be cursory and limited to changes that may be necessary as a result of any changes to the Implementation Plan.”

The report, from Planner Heidi Jacobs, said the Implementation Plan includes “Related Policies” listed at the end of each program. Jacobs in the report said that “if changes are proposed to an implementation program, the Related Policies for that program should be reviewed to ensure the program, as amended, continues to implement” the Policy or Policies.

Jacobs said “again, please remember” that people “raising items or having comments on the merits of the General Plan or previous direction that are more appropriate for the future public hearings will be asked to save those items or comments until that time.”

The Amador County Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission will meet in a continuation of the May 25-26 Joint Panel Meeting, from which previous information and a staff report is posted on line.

During the May sessions “direction was given to staff on several items.” Jacobs said one of the items staff received direction on was to add an “Industrial” designation “to an area from Highway 104 to the County’s Carbondale Industrial Park along the existing railroad. The exact boundaries were not identified and staff was to bring back some suggested configurations. In a report for Wednesday’s Joint Panel meeting, the Planning Department included two suggested areas for the Panel’s consideration. After review and discussion the Panel can determine the final configuration staff is to proceed with in the documents.”

Also, “public input was received, and the Glossary was reviewed and changes made per Panel direction. Glossary terms which do not exist in the document were removed and changes were made to other term definitions per the Panel’s direction.” The revised Glossary was attached to the previously distributed draft minutes of the May 25-26 meeting.
