Jackson City Council Faces Jackson Hills Decision Tonight

slide23Tonight at 7 pm the Jackson City Council will once again evaluate the merits of the proposed Jackson Hills Golf Community Project located off of French Bar Rd in Jackson.
The project has seen its share of controversy, including a formal recommendation from the Amador County Transportation Commission that the project be denied by the city due to the overwhelming nature of the traffic considerations for the already overly impacted roads in the city and surrounding county areas. The Jackson Planning Commission also recommended denial of the project on a 3-2 vote. Tonight during the mandated public hearing for the Jackson Hills Golf Course and Residential Community a hearing to receive more public comment will be held and then the council will determine their actions on the Certification of Environmental Impact Report, the Tentative Subdivision Map, a General Plan Amendment to allow for the Residential Low Density and Recreation with a Planned Development Overlay which also includes the Rezoning of the land to Residential Single Family (R-1) and Planned Unit Development (PUD) and a Resolution Exempting 68 Phase I units from Resource Allocation Program Ordinance. The meeting is at the Jackson Civic Center at 7pm
