GPU5 growth paper lacks water policy

For the fourth time in more than a decade, the county's Planning Commission is forwarding a proposed template for rural growth for the next 20 years to the Board of Supervisors with one notable omission  a water policy.

On Wednesday, the commission unanimously recommended the latest version of the general plan update, now known as GPU5 or General Plan 2010, to the board. But the commission decided not to recommend a policy for determining the adequacy of a local water supply to support future growth, leaving the issue for the board to decide.
