PURPOSE
The purpose of this informational workshop includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Provide the Planning Commission and public a general overview and introduction of both
the proposed Village of Marble Valley Specific Plan (VMVSP) and the proposed Lime
Rock Valley Specific Plan (LRVSP) projects, including the size and scope.- Give a “heads-up” that these projects are in the pipeline and will soon be formally brought
before the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors.- Provide an opportunity for decision-makers and the general public to ask questions share
comments prior to a formal hearing.- Encourage staff to pursue additional research regarding questions from Planning
Commissioners and the general public, so that the future formal hearing may be better
informed and responsive to specific questions.
The intention of this staff-led informational workshop is that it be a non-binding introduction to the
projects for the Planning Commission in a setting less formal than a public hearing. No action nor
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors is being sought from Planning Commissioners for this
item at the August 8, 2024, Planning Commission Meeting.
County CEQA Consultant, Pat Angell from Ascent Environmental will deliver most of the
introductory presentation. Guest speakers from County Divisions and Local Agencies may deliver
brief relevant information. The proportion of Applicant participation in delivering this introduction
is expected to be proportional to other projects heard by the Planning Commission.
