Focusing Our Vision (pdf, 195 KB)

The Secretary of Business, Transportation and Housing will speak to the State's objectives for regional "blueprint" planning.  Staff will report on progress to date and alert the Committee to upcoming events and work products.  Committee advice on emerging issues (incentives, relationship to RHNA, and local-government ownership of the process and results) will be sought.

Legislative Update (pdf, 219 KB)

Staff will provide an up-to-the-minute oral report on events in Sacramento relating to legislation of interest to the JPC.  The Committee earlier authorized staff to draft and transmit a letter commenting on infrastructure proposals.  The final letter, as transmitted, is attached.

 

Climate Protection (local efforts to combat global warming)

The Air District has embarked on a climate protection program, based in part on a pilot program in Sonoma County.  Air District staff will describe the new program with particular reference to the JPC's interests.  Leaders of the Sonoma program will outline lessons learned from the pilot effort.

 

Smart Growth and Goods Movement (pdf, 23 KB)

Last year, the Committee received a report on potential land-use conflicts between regional smart-growth housing objectives and regional goods-movement objectives.  Staff will provide a progress report on efforts to understand and begin resolving these conflicts.
