The City has begun work on the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Gridley General Plan Update. We need your help to identify the topics that should be addressed in this EIR. The City will be accepting comment letters for scoping this EIR until August 1st, 2008. The City will also be conducting an EIR Scoping Meeting to receive additional input as to the scope and content of this EIR. The Scoping Meeting will be July 14, 2008, 4:00-6:00 p.m., City Council Chambers, Gridley City Hall, 685 Kentucky Street, Gridley. The full Notice of Preparation is located here.

On April 21, the Gridley City Council affirmed the Preferred General Plan Alternative . The General Plan team will now begin drafting policies and analyzing environmental impacts to create the draft General Plan Policy Document and Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

During December, January, and February, EDAW and City staff developed a series of alternative concepts to share with the Planning Commission, City Council, and the general public. These alternatives concepts were the subject of public workshops in December and January. Major topics included neighborhood centers, Highway 99, parks and open space, transportation, and residential density. Based on the direction from the public and decision makers, EDAW prepared three land use and circulation alternatives. All three are consistent with public and decision maker input, and all three achieve the City's approved General Plan Vision and Guiding Principles.
