 Amador County – A joint session of the Ione City Council and Planning Commission will host a public hearing Tuesday on the Ione draft General Plan and its “Land Use Element” and “Circulation Element.” The council and commission will call the meeting to order during the regular council meeting, at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall. Staff encourages public comment and participation. Planning staff, Pacific Municipal Consulting said “all elements of the General Plan are policies that guide future development.” PMC’s Christopher Jordan and Daniel Hamilton will present both elements. Land Use focuses on “important issues related to the location of parks and recreation, housing developments,” use of downtown Ione and other land use topics. The Circulation Element “provides policies for transportation issues within the city, including vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian modes.” PMC said “once initial public comments have been gathered and the city council and planning commission have provided direction on the draft General Plan, a Draft Environmental Impact Report analyzing the impacts of the General Plan will also be released and available for public comment.” PMC said the public’s participation and contribution “will be essential.” Additional public meetings will be held, covering an array of topics related to the General Plan. The draft General Plan and related materials are available for public review at www.ionegeneralplan.com, and City Hall. Story by Jim Reece
