BONNERS FERRY — An open house for the city’s comprehensive plan and public hearing is scheduled for March 1 at the Boundary County Annex.
The open house is 4-6 p.m. and the public hearing is at 6 p.m.
The open house will be the opportunity to review the city’s draft Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map and to talk informally with staff and officials and offer comments.
At 6 p.m., the Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to the City Council for a repeal and replacement of the current comprehensive plan and future land use map.
After several workshops by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Advisory Committee and presenting a draft of the plan to the council, the open house and public hearing were scheduled.
The city’s comprehensive plan, which is required by state law, is a 20-year vision by the community that establishes goals and policies for Bonners Ferry and is tied to zoning and other regulations that govern land development.
Bonners Ferry’s comprehensive plan was last updated in 2006. The current update will realign the city’s goals and policies as the community has changed over the past 16 years.
