NORTHSHORE – County officials are planning to reestablish an advisory committee to assist in the process of planning for Northshore communities.

The County of Lake is seeking community members interested in serving on the committee, which will review the draft Shoreline Communities Area Plan before it is scheduled for public hearings.

Public involvement is central to the planning process, a county statement said.

The committee will provide local advice and input during the finalization of the Shoreline Communities land use and zoning plan.

The Shoreline Communities Planning Area includes all the land between Bartlett Springs Road and the Lake/Colusa County line, north of Cache Creek, including the communities of Lucerne, Glenhaven, Clearlake Oaks, Clearlake Park, High Valley, Spring Valley and Windflower Point.

The advisory committee will consist of approximately 12 to 15 people who reside or work within the planning area.

Members will be chosen from a broad cross-section of the area's geographic, social and economic interests, representing the following sectors: commerce and industry, environment, agriculture, tourism, recreation, rancherias and other residents.

Applications are available at the Lake County Board of Supervisors Office, the Lake County Community Development Department and can also be downloaded from the County Web site at www.co.lake.ca.us.

All applications must be received by 5 p.m. May 30.

The Board of Supervisors is expected to select committee members in June.

For additional information, contact project coordinator Emily Minton of the Lake County Community Development Department on the third floor of the Courthouse at 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
