General Plan Advisory Committee To Review Policies This Week
Written by
The Amador County General Plan committee will
meet this week to review draft policies. This task will occupy the for the next
two meetings. The General Plan is in a review and revise period that was begun
by the county near the end of 2005. The General Plan is a document that is the "constitution" or
foundation upon which future land use and development decisions will be based
for the unincorporated areas of the County.
The outcome of the General Plan update will have
implications for everyone who lives or works in Amador County
as it is the future map for the direction of the county. Reviewing the draft
policies for the establishment of the new plan is a priority to the committee
members, although the committee itself does
not make the recommendations for policies to the Board of Supervisors. That
is the job of the Amador County Planning Department. The GPAC assembly would like to comment and create
their own recommendations that would then be included in any
recommendations from the Planning Department. Ultimately the Board of
Supervisors will make all of the final decisions regarding the final policies
included in the future plan for the county. What policies will be included in
recommendations from the committee to the planning department will be the
subject of the next two GPAC meetings. The committee meets this Thursday night
at 6pm.
