Rural Land Use Planning Clearinghouse

This site is a response by concerned people in Southern Humboldt County to challenges to our rural way of life. Our most recent challenge concerns the code enforcement activities we have seen recently. It is our contention that these activities stem from land use planning assumptions and code interpretations that do not make sense and are not appropriate for our rural setting.
This site is part of a community process to give context and common sense to the land use planning process in our area. Among the things we will do is to explore making a local community plan for our rural communities as part of the Humboldt County general plan.
A priority of ours is to build a clearing house of information and resources that are available to community members who are taking on the task of responding to planning agencies and building or revising these local plans.
We will be a resource for: community plans, fire planning, environmental concerns, wildlife and watershed issues, small woodland and timber resource management, and public health and safety concerns especially regarding agricultural and unlawful activities.
If you are working or organizing in any of these areas, please send your links and contact info, and participate in any way you can. All are welcome to register at this site and be a part of building this resource
