LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — This week county residents are being invited to participate in a new survey and a webinar on the new Lake County general plan.

The Lake County 2050 process began earlier this year. It will update the county general plan and the area plans for each community.

A new community survey has been opened, and will be available through Sept. 2. The general plan team said input will help shape the future of Lake County.

The survey is here.

Survey participants will be asked to select their local area plan, or LAP, to access their community’s survey.

The local area plan areas are Cobb Mountain, Kelseyville, Lakeport, Lower Lake, Middletown, Rivieras, Shoreline Communities (Clearlake Oaks and Lucerne) and Upper Lake – Nice.

“Each survey seeks input on potential changes to land use designations, LAP boundaries, and/or community growth boundaries; potential policies to address key issues identified during the first round of engagement in April; as well as priorities to inform the Housing Action and Implementation Plan (HAIP),” according to the Lake County 2050 website.

There also will be a webinar and open house from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 15. Find more information here.

Other upcoming opportunities to talk with the project team include all-day booths at the Blackberry COBBler Festival on Aug. 24 and Lake County Fair on Aug. 29.

An Aug. 12 webinar that offers an overview of the project is published on this page.
