Per the direction of the Nevada County Board of Supervisors, the Planning Department is working to prepare a new Area Plan for the Penn Valley Region.
The current Penn Valley Village Area Plan was adopted in 2000. The purpose for this update is to make adjustments based on the community’s current needs and prepare a plan that can realize opportunities in the future based on the following planning objectives.
1. The plan is a comprehensive land use and zoning plan for the Penn Valley commercial areas (may include industrial, business park, recreation and residential areas);
2. It serves as a tool to advance the goals and policies for the Nevada County General Plan, while benefitting the local community;
3. The Plan reflects the vision of residents, business owners, and elected officials;
4. The Plan establishes achievable action items; and
5. The Plan provides long-term guidance intended to improve the prosperity of the area in a way that supports a healthy economy, environment, and social fabric of the area residents and visitors.
Seventy-five (75) community members, supported by the Penn Valley Municipal Advisory Council (the MAC) and facilitated by Nevada County Staff, attended the workshop.
For the full summary of the first Public Workshop, please see additional information below.
