Document Description
Trinity County is updating its General Plan, the State-mandated document that guides how and where the county will grow over the next 25 years. The Plan covers topics such as land use, transportation, housing, conservation, open space, and public safety. It will shape Trinity County’s future and define County priorities for years to come. The objectives of the General Plan Update include: (1) Express the community’s vision for Trinity County’s future; (2) Provide a balance between growth and conservation that meets community needs and protects Trinity County’s quality of life; (3) Inform residents, developers, and decision makers of the ground rules that guide development; (4) Ensure that development occurs in an efficient, orderly manner that minimizes costs to taxpayers; and (5) Engage in a comprehensive and inclusive outreach process. The project also includes related updates to the County’s Zoning Code to more specifically outline allowable uses and permitting processes for development on parcels throughout the county.
