Trinity County planning staff on Sept. 25 provided commissioners with a schedule for continuing the multi-part zoning code update and invited commissioners to review materials in advance.

Drew Blavani, interim planning director, said Part 3 — previously reviewed twice — was available for more detailed commissioner review and proposed returning that section to the commission on Oct. 23. He proposed Part 2, described as one of the largest sections of the update, be scheduled for Dec. 11 with an earlier start time (staff suggested a 2 p.m. start and allowed up to eight hours to review, depending on progress). Part 4 was proposed for the Jan. 15 meeting. Blavani asked commissioners to submit written comments to staff and suggested continuing to use a track-changes document so commissioners can see edits clearly.

Commissioners discussed meeting length and availability; several said they could accommodate an afternoon start. Commissioners and staff noted the need to balance thorough line-by-line review with pragmatic timelines so the zoning update can be incorporated into the environmental impact report (EIR) preparation without undue delay. Blavani also described community workshops held as part of the project and said staff observed useful feedback on topics such as mixed use and river access in Junction City.

No vote was taken; staff asked commissioners to review materials and return for scheduled review dates. The commission agreed to tentatively consider Part 3 on Oct. 23, Part 2 on Dec. 11 (possible extended session), and Part 4 on Jan. 15.
