County accepting applications for Copperopolis Community Plan Advisory Committee

Calaveras County is now accepting applications for the Copperopolis Community Plan Advisory Committee. The committee will be comprised of seven members appointed by the County Board of Supervisors. The role of the committee is to:

§  Review the planning effort started in 1992, the Vision 2020 report and the draft Copperopolis Community Plans; 

§  Provide community input and insights on staff’s effort to reconcile the land use and circulation components necessary for the General Plan update;

§  Provide recommendations on the vision statements and guiding policies for Copperopolis to be included in the General Plan update;

§  Help identify options to move the community plan forward and find grants or other funding sources for the planning and environmental analysis needed.
