SUBJECT: Status Report on Growth Management Plan
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Acknowledge receipt of this status report on efforts to establish a process
for undertaking a broad based community participation process, involving
all of the cities, the Contra Costa Community College District, and the
local media, to develop a Growth Management Plan and Preservation of
Quality of Life Policy for the County.
BACKGROUND
On November 19, 1985 the Board declared its intent to develop a Growth
Management Plan and Preservation of Quality of Life Policy for Contra Costa
County and referred to the Finance Committee, for report back to the Board
by December 31, 1985 , the matter of determining the cost of a broad based
community participation process and delineating the timetable relationship
of such a process to the County General Plan Update process which is
currently underway.
On December 2, 1985 the Mayor of the City of Martinez held a meeting,
attended by one member of the Board of Supervisors, and representatives of
certain cities, the Contra Costa Community College District, cabletele-
vision companies and other interested persons, to generate initial
discussion about how to structure a process whereby all involved local
public agencies and interested organizations and persons could participate
in the development of a county-wide Growth Management Plan. The city
representatives agreed that the Mayors Conference would be the appropriate
body to determine how the cities should be involved in such process. This
matter was ` also discussed at the December 2, 1985 Finance Committee
meeting. A major topic of discussion was what would be the relationship
between the development of a Growth Management Plan and the County General
Plan Update process. It appears that much of the data required for the
development of a Growth Management Plan and a Preservation of Quality of
Life Policy will be generated through the General Plan Update process.
Mr. A. A. Dehaesus, Director of Community Development, indicated that the
new General Plan will include action oriented statements designed to attain
the General Plan goals and: objectives. The committee members indicated
there is a definite need for better coordination among all of the Land Use
Planning agencies within the County.
