02/22/2005: "LOPEZ URBAN GROWTH AREA PUBLIC MEETING"

On Thursday, March 3, 2005, 6 to 8 pm, at the Lopez Center for Community and The Arts, there will be an informative public meeting for anyone wishing to learn more about the process to determine an urban growth area boundary (UGA) in 2005. This will be the first of several public meetings culminating with the county conducting public hearings and deliberations prior to voting to adopt a new UGA this spring. A newly adopted UGA is expected to be submitted for review to the Western Growth Management Hearings Board this summer.

County staff will present background, a calendar, strategies, and draft proposals will be discussed. Public feedback will then be solicited.

All interested residents and parties are encouraged to attend.

This meeting is sponsored by San Juan County Community Development & Planning Department. If you have additional questions, please contact Martin Blackman at 370-7581.
