A regional blueprint on land use planning and prioritization of local resources to address existing and future housing, transportation, and jobs is the topic of a virtual public workshop being held live via Zoom Webinar at Noon and 5:30 p.m. on September 24 hosted by the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG). Those interested can participate in one of the two Connected 2050 and Regional Housing Needs Allocation workshop sessions being offered. Participation information below.
SBCAG seeks public input on two major initiatives: The Regional Transportation Plan / Sustainable Communities Strategy (Connected 2050 RTP-SCS) and the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Both initiatives use local input to inform the planning and decision making processes of SBCAG Board members as well as city and county planners. The public workshops are part of a series of solicitating community feedback that began in the Spring, which include listening sessions, 1:1 stakeholder meetings, and a countwide digital survey.
At the September 24 workshop sessions, SBCAG will present several scenarios that each represent a different vision for future development, growth, and transportation in Santa Barbara County and use interactive polling to solicit input from attendees.
