CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The next in a series of community meetings on the new Clearlake General Plan will take place this weekend.
The meeting will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 10., in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
A light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
The first community meeting was held on Oct. 27, as Lake County News has reported. It focused on what community members like and dislike about Clearlake, and how to improve the city.
A general plan is a blueprint for the city’s future development and planning.
The Nov. 10 meeting will focus on the 11 different elements of the general plan and the community’s preference on different future directions, according to representatives with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s City and Regional Planning Department.
The city of Clearlake is working with the college and a team of 14 graduate students under the direction of Cornelius Nuworsoo, who has experience working on over 20 different city general plans.
Team members began visiting Clearlake early last month in order to begin the extensive research needed to complete the document.
City Manager Joan Phillipe told Lake County News in a previous interview that the city’s general plan is about 30 years old, and has long needed updating.
She said the new plan is expected to be completed by the end of June 2013. Additional meetings are planned at each step of the plan development process over the next several months.
