As part of the County’s General Plan Update process, three land use alternatives have been developed for review and discussion.  The next GPAC meeting on April 3rd will focus on reviewing the various components contained in these alternatives. To consolidate the public’s thoughts on the concepts proposed in these alternatives a survey was created and has been placed on the County’s website at www.co.amador.ca.us/depts./planning and is available at the Planning Department.  Members of the public are encouraged to complete the survey and submit their answers to the Planning Department. The Planning Department plans and oversees new development and redevelopment plans; creates policy for land use; and regulates, monitors and enforces County Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision, Surface Mining, Neighborhood Preservation, and other ordinances.
