The Nevada County Planning Department is inviting residents to a public workshop on Aug. 27 to learn how the department works, how to get involved, and how to comment on new development proposals.
The workshop will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors Chambers, 950 Maidu Ave., Nevada City. The session will also be livestreamed for viewing on www.youtube.com/@countyofnevadaca/live.
“We want to make it easier for residents to understand how planning and land use decisions are made,” said Planning Director Brian Foss. “By walking people through the permit and development process, we hope to empower the community to share their input early and feel confident pursuing their own development projects.”
Staff will give a 30-minute presentation and will then be available to answer any questions.
Information to be discussed will include:
- Overview of the planning process and what the Planning Department does
- How to apply for a permit such as a land subdivision or use permit and what to expect once you submit an application
- How to provide input on development proposals in the community
The Planning Department applies community land-use policies and strives to meet the needs of individuals and businesses. Its goal is to protect the environment to ensure that Nevada County remains a desirable place to live, work and recreate. Learn more at www.NevadaCountyCa.gov/Planning.
