Schedule of GPU Workshops Set By Board

During the next month, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors will be holding several "workshop" sessions on the latest draft of the proposed General Plan Update. Supposedly, these workshop sessions are simply to verify that the latest draft of the GPU conforms to what the Board directed last November. In fact, landowner and developer representatives are asking the Board to weaken the current draft GPU even more than the Board has already weakened it, by the actions that the Board took in November 2002.

"Final" action on the General Plan Update will occur either late this year (unlikely) or (more likely) in the early Spring of next year (AFTER the next Supervisorial elections in March 2004). The upcoming workshop sessions are preparatory to the formal consideration of the "second draft" GPU. As usual, the more public participation the better. The most important Workshops are scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, May 27th, and the evening of Tuesday, June 24th.

Please contact LandWatch for more information, and let us know whether you'd like help preparing a letter to the Board, or "talking points" for one of the workshop sessions.
