  • CAP comments on Mills study. Oct. 2017

• The Draft 2017 RTP provisions represent good steps to improve safety, aid the economy, and protect the environment. We strongly encourage Calaveras County to achieve consistency with the 2017 Draft RTP by including similar policies and implementation measures in its Circulation Element. The County must be an active partner in these endeavors if people are to reap the benefits of these particular 2017 Draft RTP policies. In addition, if the County adopted such implementation measures with sufficient commitment to achieve measurable standards, then the County could mitigate impacts of development under the Draft General Plan.

Tell the Board of Supervisors what you want in the General Plan 

Last year Calaveras County released the text of the Draft General Plan for public comment.  That text did not include the Community Plans.  That text did not include the vision and principles developed in 2008 after two years of public workshops. The CPC drafted and distributed a petition for the Earth Day Celebration in 2015.

1. Items for discussion at Planning Commission on 6-12-14,
   including the Saddle Creek Development Agreement Extension:

• To PC by email on Saddle Creek DA fin
• From Colleen June 26 Planning Commission: 

(Ward has video posted on CAP: https://calaverascap.com/june-26-2014-calaveras-county-planning-commission/)1) At first Public Comment, I followed up on Tom’s presentation at 6/12 meeting.  I thanked the commissioners for being receptive to his suggestions for mitigation and development project monitoring and establishing protocols for review of old environmental docs for extensions, and for requesting future study sessions.2) At second Public Comment, I thanked them for bringing up their desire to address the problem of residential outdoor lighting, which is not addressed in code and has come before them over and over for 5+ years, has been dealt with inconsistently, and I suggested they include language in the GPU to address and bring back in SS.3) Peter Maurer’s then made a report/ comments which are worth listening to.  He seemed receptive to this idea of language in the GPU (and other ideas), and to having a study session late July or August as an annual planning project update along with addressing suggestions from Mr. Infusino.  He also talked about trying to get history/background of GPU, meeting with interest groups, “working in a vacuum”, “no continuity of staff”, “bookshelves of documents” but “what’s pertinent today?”  It’s worth listening to for a few minutes to get a sense of where the Director is coming from.4) Autozone filed an appeal to the BOS yesterday.  They are also requesting modification of the road standards.  PC Karen Sisk said “I can see problems developing there” (which I asked about afterwards and she doesn’t like the idea of a lot of access driveways and congestion in that area).
