Scoping Comments in response to the Notice of Preparation for the Calaveras County General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report

CAP and the CPC’s Tom Infusion has submitted a detailed set of general recommendations to the Calaveras County Planning Department in response to NOP for General Plan Update DEIR. The documents submitted are for the County to follow in preparation of the General Plan Update EIR. These recommendations are based upon the CEQA Guidelines, CEQA case law, and our experience reviewing environmental review documents over the last decade. We strongly encourage you to follow these recommendations, and to avoid the pitfalls they identify. We have watched as our neighbors to the north, El Dorado and Amador counties, completed general plan updates in 2015 and 2016 that ignored this sage advice, and ended up in litigation It is in Calaveras County’s best interest to develop a strong, clear, valid, and legally defensible EIR.
Following the general recommendations, there are specific recommendations regarding the County’s evaluation and mitigation of specified impacts of the general plan.
