Colfax Looks to Modernize Zoning to Spur Growth
A Colfax zoning update moves forward from a 1970s framework to allow new fitness and business uses as the city plans a modern ordinance. The effort, backed by City Manager Bob Perrault and engineers Tom Leland, aims to streamline permits, curb delays, and boost economic development amid a sewer moratorium and a planned wastewater plant completion by June 2006. Industry and academic advisors from Chevron Texaco and California State University, Sacramento, will assist, while the group partners with Placer County Public Works.
