Ione Planning Amends JTS Development Agreement
The Ione Planning Commission held their regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday evening. Four public hearings were scheduled, with the first being a proposed amendment to the existing Development Agreement between the City and JTS Communities for the Castle Oaks subdivision. The changes, which were minor and specific to the payment of fees for public safety, were approved by the planning commission to recommend to the city council 3-0. Traffic Study Guidelines were also discussed at the meeting Tuesday evening. The guidelines, which are city owned and not written in association with the Amador County Planning Commission, have been reviewed previously by the Ione Planning Commission. The city’s draft guidelines are based upon similar guidelines currently being developed by ACTC and the language has been modified from studies done. Although ACTC does reserve the power to comment on the aforementioned guidelines, they have no authority to enforce or modify them. The Commission approved the recommendation 3-0.
