Our consultant, DC&E provided a
preliminary outline of Butte County General Plan
2030 based upon their original scope of
work. This was submitted in 2006 as part of
their proposal to Butte County. Please refer to
this and the other materials as we prepare for
our meeting on June 5. We will receive
public input and discuss and finalize a
recommendation from the Citizens Advisory
Committee to the Planning Commission and the
Board of Supervisors on an outline for Butte
General Plan 2030.
Development of
the Draft Outline for Butte County General Plan 2030
- The meeting will
include guest speakers from the Governor’s Office of
Planning and Research on the State’s General Plan
Guidelines, and from Sonoma County, a jurisdiction
that recently approved a Water Resources Element.
Chuck Thistlethwaite, Planning Manager for Butte
County will review how several counties have
organized their General Plans. Joanna Jansen from the County’s General Plan
Consultant Team, Design, Community & Environment will
also present information and ideas about General
Plan organization for consideration by the CAC. The
goal of this meeting is to help develop a working
draft outline for overall organization of Butte
County’s General Plan 2030 document, including the
identification of optional elements. This working
draft outline will help organize policy into
mandatory and optional elements during Meeting
Series 5 devoted to Goals and Policy Development,
scheduled to begin after the conclusion of Meeting
Series 4.
