Updates to the Inyo County General Plan & Zoning Code

The County is now starting the review process for proposed updates to the County's General Plan and Zoning Code.  The proposed updates will be presented to a joint workshop of the Inyo County Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.  Staff will incorporate any input from those two bodies into the documents, and then begin the public outreach effort for the proposed updates, followed by the environmental review process.
