GLENN COUNTY

GENERAL PLAN

2007 - 2027

INTRODUCTION

This document contains background information compiled for the Glenn County General Plan Update.  It describes the existing conditions which apply to all the subject areas to be addressed in the Plan, and also served as the "environmental setting" portion of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the General Plan. This document is organized to correspond to the major subject headings for issue papers to be prepared for the General Plan. There is also a section describing the relationship of other plans adopted by the County and other agencies to the General Plan.

 

 

The general plan must be based on solid data if it is to serve as the primary source of community planning policy. Identifying issues, constraints, and opportunities and defining a community vision helps to set the direction for studies and establishes the range of information and the level of detail that will be needed to complete the plan.
