Give input on rural land use at Douglas County Open House August 5

Douglas County 4-H community, many of you enjoy a rural lifestyle. You may be interested in this upcoming meeting. See information below straight from the county website.

"Public input on rural land use and lifestyle values is welcome as part of a Douglas County-hosted open house on Wednesday, Aug. 5 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Hearing Room of the Philip S. Miller Building, 100 Third St. in Castle Rock.

Prioritizing rural land use and lifestyle values in the County is a goal of the recently-formed Douglas County Rural Framework Ad Hoc Committee, whose members have been evaluating the County’s rural land use and lifestyle policies and regulations throughout June and July. The open house is designed to report Committee progress to date, as well as provide an opportunity for the public to comment on Committee accomplishments.

“Public input is a valuable part of this process to ensure that the revised Rural Framework meets the needs of the Douglas County community,” said Commissioner Steven A. Boand.
The goal of the Committee is to provide the Board of Douglas County Commissioners with recommendations on possible changes to the Comprehensive Master Plan policies and/or zoning and subdivision resolutions pertaining to rural land use in October 2009.
