Updating the Village Specific Plan 2009

The City of Big Bear Lake is holding a VILLAGE COMMUNITY PLANNING MEETING on August 31 at 6:00 PM at the Performing Arts Center. Call 909-866-5831 for more information.

Tag line on the Chamber of Commerce email is HELP THE CITY UPDATE THE VILLAGE SPECIFIC PLAN.

Along with a much needed update, Property and Business owners need to develop a strategy for implementing the Village Specific Plan in a measurable and steady progression. Simply having a specific plan for any area is just an exercise without specific goals set by the community and our elected leaders as evidenced by the progress made by the city and the current VSP.

This new effort is commendable but has to be sealed with an actionable plan to make necessary improvements and allow development that will allow us to better compete in the regional retail marketplace.

The Aug. 31, 2009 Public Meeting was attended by 35 people including those from the City of Big Bear Lake Planning Department, Planning Commission, Redevelopment Agency, City Council, and Building Department. I think only one media person was in the audience and I spotted at least 2 property owners. Also attending were several Valley Residents from Fawnskin, Sugerloaf and Big Bear City. While the tone was fairly general in approach, the many ideas we have all talked about for years were once again spelled out and attendee’s were assured that this process will march forward, has funding and City Staff is currently tasked with making progress toward updating the VSP.
