Members of the public are invited to a series of online workshops to let city officials and planning experts know how they want Hollister to grow from now until 2040.
The City of Hollister is getting ready to embark on an update of its 20-year General Plan, giving residents an opportunity to provide their own input into how the community should plan and grow for the future.
A landowner has sued the county over a policy in the newly approved general plan that could prevent the party from developing due to a nearby agricultural industrial facility, according to a lawsuit filed at the San Benito County Courthouse.
Before a final approval in an eight-year process to devise a new general plan—a required blueprint for future development—supervisors offered views focusing mostly on highway development.
San Benito County’s general plan update could take up to two years to complete, despite estimates earlier this year that it might be completed this fall.
The environmental impact review for the San Benito County general plan update is slated to be released on Friday to begin a 45-day comment period that will end on April 8, according to County Planning Director Gary Armstrong.
The San Benito County supervisors will meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday, with the regular agenda including several items to be brought back for discussion from previous meetings.
