Tabulation and Report of the Community Survey Planning Process The planning process began
early in 2005 with a sharing of ideas about what the community is and what it
can become. First, we created a vision
for the community (city and county).
From that shared view of what the community should be like, goals,
objectives and policies were recorded as means to achieve the Community
Vision. Existing conditions are now being evaluated to determine where we are
today, and what it will take to get the community where we want it to be. Several possible scenarios will be created
and presented to citizens to evaluate, with the aim of incorporating the most
preferred features into a future land use plan for the community. Background Data and Meeting Summaries Initial Stakeholder Interviews Stakeholder
interviews were conducted January 25-26, 2005, in order to provide a preview
of issues to be addressed in the Lake City/ Hinsdale County Community Plan.

Corridor) ¨¨¨ Alternative 2 : Infill Development (Encourage use of previously subdivided lots, instead of more
subdivisions)
¨¨¨ Alternative 3 : Clustered Development (Promote clustering of lots in new subdivisions to preserve
scenic quality, the environment, rural
character and open spaces) Click here for citizen
responses to the above alternatives from the July 12 workshop Future Workshop Schedule Future
workshop dates will be posted on this page as scheduled. Check back often for

. Frequently Asked Questions Comprehensive
plans do not typically promote growth and change, rather they most often
serve as a guide to managing growth, should it occur. In fact, most
communities choose to use their comprehensive plans to promote retention of
the status quo. Throughout the Lake City/ Hinsdale County Community Planning
Project, the planner will be asking citizens and property owners questions,
writing down the answers, and drafting documents that articulate the
consensus reached regarding desired future conditions in text and graphic
form. For more information, click on the following links: Why do we need a Comprehensive Plan? Whose job is
it to create a Comprehensive Plan (per Colorado Revised Statutes)? What is the role of the
Steering Committee? How will the
Comprehensive Plan be used? PDF Files Adobe PDF reader You may download a free
