Nicknamed the "Land Use One-Pager Project," these "one-pagers" <br />offer local agencies a set of descriptions of common land use decisions, with the goal of <br />promoting informed public participation in land use decision-making. <br /> <br />Local agencies can attach the one-pagers to public hearing notices or have them available in <br />hard copy form at planning counters. They are also available as links to attach to e-mailed <br />notices or as content for Web sites. All of the one-pagers are available in either .pdf or Microsoft <br />Word format (if you want to customize them for your own agency's needs) at '!:!Y!:!i.:J~a- <br />ilg ,0rg/0I1~l2?MI],. <br /> <br />ILG is grateful to Citrus Heights Director of Community Development Janet Ruggiero for <br />suggesting this project and to all the peer reviewers that took part in the process. This effort was <br />made possible by financial support from the law firm Burke, Williams, and Sorensen, LLP. <br /> <br />League Legislative Briefings Coming Up <br /> <br />The League of California Cities is hosting two briefing sessions in November.
