slide11.pngAt last night’s rescheduled Jackson Planning Commission meeting, the Final Environmental Impact Report was certified for Land Use Element updates, Circulation Element amendments, and Development and Zoning code updates. The city is slowly making progress in constructing the city’s General Plan. Beth Thompson of Pacific Municipal Consultants made a presentation to the commission that outlined the final report, and about a dozen members of the public were present to submit comments before the certifying document goes to the Jackson City Council for approval next Monday.

The most significant input regarding the Final EIR was presented by the Amador Citizens for Smart Growth, or ACSG. ACSG Chairwoman Kathy Allen commented that, although the City had several meetings with property owners over the course of twelve years in preparing the Land Use element, the focus of those meetings were on zoning changes, and that there was no discussion of General Plan goals or creation of policies. City Manager Mike Daly said he greatly appreciates the feedback and work of the ACSG. Present in the audience was Jackson city councilman Al Nunez. TSPN asked Nunez during a break in the meeting what he thought about the Final EIR, he said that he felt there were pros and cons to the report, but that it seemed good overall, and said he felt that members of the public were “nit picking”.
