Amador County – The Amador County Planning Department on Tuesday announced that a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors has been set for April to look at the preliminary draft of Amador County’s updated General Plan.
Amador County Planner Heidi Jacobs announced the meeting, set for 1 p.m. Monday, April 4, with the next day set aside for a continuation of the meeting, to April 5, also at 1 p.m., if needed. The meeting will be held in the Supervisors chamber.
Jacobs in a release Tuesday said “as part of Amador County’s ongoing General Plan Update process,” the “preliminary drafts of the general plan, glossary and implementation plan have been prepared for review at a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.”
“The purpose of this meeting will be for the Joint Panel to review these documents to ensure they contain the information and items on which direction was given at the previous joint meetings held in late 2008 through 2009,” the release said. “This review is not for the purpose of taking public comment on the merit of what is contained or proposed in the documents. That discussion will take place during the public hearing process which will be forthcoming when the final version of the Draft General Plan is released for public review along with the Draft EIR for the project, expected to occur later this summer.”
The documents are posted on the “Amador General Plan Update page” website. Documents are also available for viewing at the Jackson branch of the Amador County Library, the Planning Department office and the Board of Supervisors’ office.
A limited number of printed documents are available for purchase.
Text and maps developed to date in the General Plan Update process may be reviewed. The release said the “update process is ongoing,” and urged people to “continue to monitor the website and watch for notices of future public hearings, as changes to the proposed General Plan can, and will, be made up until the last meeting.”
