Plymouth – The Plymouth City Council meets at an earlier time than usual, 5:30 p.m. Thursday, to continue public hearings on the city’s draft General Plan, and on its accompanying Final Environmental Impact Report. City planning staff took direction in early July and made recommended changes. Staff gave “strikethrough” editions of the General Plan EIR to city council members on July 31st, giving the council and the public 2 weeks to read the document, before the public hearings resume. That meeting is 5:30 p.m. Thursday at city hall. The early meeting time was set “so as to allow plenty of time for public input to be taken. In the first hearing of the night, the council will consider a resolution “certifying the program Environmental Impact Report and adopting findings, a statement of over riding considerations, and a mitigation monitoring and reporting program” for Plymouth’s General Plan. The council in the second hearing will consider a resolution “adopting the Plymouth General Plan Update for the horizon year 2025.” The hearings allow a continuation of public comment on the FEIR and General Plan. After the close of the public hearings, the council will discuss and possibly take action on the update and FEIR. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
