TPZ Lands Discussion Continues April 15th

Controversial Land Use Issue Discussion Continues!

The Humboldt County Planning Commission will return to its deliberations on rural lands policies on Thursday April 15th

According to Planning Department staff the Commission intends to continue discussion of section 4.6 of the land Use Element. The meeting begins at 6:00 PM at the Supervisors’ Chambers in Eureka.

Public Comment Will be Accepted at this Meeting.

It is very important to attend this and subsequent meetings if you can. There are several very controversial aspects to this section especially relating to your right to build a home on your land if it is zoned for timber. The proposed mandatory merging of contiguous parcels in single ownership is also a key issue. This is when resource land owners will learn the Commissioners’ responses (if any) to their issues and concerns. Decisions made at this level will have major impacts on your stewardship rights.
