GOAL

That June Lake ultimately develop into a moderately sized, self-contained, year-round community.

OBJECTIVE A

Promote the expansion of the June Lake Loop's privately owned land base to accommodate planned community growth.

Policy 1: Promote, where reasonable and feasible, the use of USFS land exchanges to enlarge the privately owned land base to meet community needs.

Action 1.1: Work with the U.S. Forest Service in identifying suitable lands for exchange or purchase. Lands in the Down Canyon and Pine Cliff areas should receive priority consideration. This program should respond to the changing needs and desires of the June Lake Community

Action 1.2: Designate potential land exchange areas on the Land Use Maps and require specific plans prior to developing these areas (2,3,9,24).

Policy 2: Promote land trades that transfer developable, non-sensitive lands into private ownership and that exclude hazardous and environmentally sensitive lands from such transfers. Where feasible, the land exchange process should involve lands in the June Lake Planning Area. Reverse land exchanges that transfer hazardous or environmentally sensitive lands in private ownership to public ownership should also be encouraged (2,3,11,14).

Action 2.1: Work with and support the USFS in the delineation of land exchange boundaries that retain sensitive areas in public ownership and transfer private lands in sensitive areas to public ownership

Policy 1: Use specific plans to guide the development of large parcels in undeveloped areas.

Action 1.1: Require the preparation of well-coordinated specific plans for the West Village/Rodeo Grounds prior to further development. Specific plans should also be prepared for undeveloped National Forest lands being exchanged into private ownership. This would include potential exchange lands at Pine Cliff and Down Canyon

OBJECTIVE C

Contain growth in and adjacent to existing developed areas, and retain open-space buffers around each area (2).

Action 2.1: Identify and prioritize sensitive private lands acceptable for exchange or purchase. Designate these lands on the Plan's Land Use maps (2,11).

Action 2.2: If reverse land exchanges or purchase are not possible, allow development under the controls established in the natural habitat protection district (3,14).

Policy 2: Promote the phasing of development where appropriate

Action 2.2: Work with the U.S. Forest Service to prioritize potential land exchange areas to reflect changing community needs (11).

OBJECTIVE G

Meet the land needs of the commercial/industrial uses (10,11).

Action 1.3: Examine the potential for locating limited light industrial areas for the storage and repair of heavy equipment (e.g. snow removal) within the Specific Plan areas of West Village/Rodeo Grounds and Down Canyon. If the studies indicate that an industrial complex would be incompatible and inconsistent with surrounding land uses, or would have significant environmental impacts, pursue a special use permit or land trade with the USFS to enable locating an industrial area in the Pine Cliff Specific Plan area (10).

Action 1.4: Allow existing industrial uses to continue on USFS lands in the Pine Cliff area (10).

Action 1.1: Work with the USFS to obtain lands, through the special permit or land trade processes, to construct a Down Canyon fire station, an equipment storage yard, a neighborhood park and additional residential developmen

Policy 8: Work with the USFS and other agencies to provide residents and employees with affordable housing (19)

Action 8.1: Work with the USFS to identify and then lease lands for the provision of affordable and employee housing (19).

Policy 1: Work with the USFS to expand the supply of year-round housing (21).

Action 1.1: Encourage the USFS to retain permittee housing as year-round housing to expand June Lake's available supply (21).

Action 1.2: Where feasible, transfer permittee housing to private ownership in order to provide additional housing units (21).

Action 1.3: Where feasible, encourage the USFS to amend its permittee housing policies to accommodate rental housing (21).

GOAL

Provide residents and visitors with a level of community facilities that improves the self-sufficiency of June Lake by reducing the demand on community facilities located in outlying areas.

OBJECTIVE A

Promote the development of community facilities that enhance the health, welfare and safety of local residents (e.g., elementary school, healthcare facilities, child care) (24,25,26,27,28,29).

Policy 1: Facilities requiring large land areas, such as school sites, shall be located in designated Specific Plan areas or on potential National Forest exchange lands (25).

Action 1.1: The County shall initiate discussions with the USFS regarding future community facility needs and begin identifying suitable lands. Community facilities should include school, healthcare and fire station sites, among others (25,26).

Policy 2: The County, in cooperation with the community and the Eastern Sierra School District, should identify and help obtain lands for future school sites (25).

Action 2.1: Work with the USFS to reserve and/or obtain lands for elementary, high school and community college sites (25).

Policy 7: Promote USFS land exchanges in cases where the development potentials of private lands are severely restricted by natural hazards (1,5).

Action 7.1: The County shall work with the USFS on reverse land exchanges that transfer developable lands in the June Lake Loop into private ownership and lands severely influenced by natural hazards into public ownership (1).

Policy 1: Promote the exchange of private undeveloped parcels in historic avalanche hazard areas to the USFS; e.g., the three tiers of parcels above Lakeview Drive in the Village (8).

Action 1.1: The County and the USFS should organize and maintain an active exchange review program that targets strategic lands for exchange and reviews other privately generated exchanges (8).

Action 1.2: Work with the USFS to obtain public lands for the construction of a Down Canyon firestation
