General plan advisers' authority questioned at Lompoc meeting
A heated Lompoc Advisory Committee on the General Plan adjourned after clashes over its scope and power. About 50 people watched as critics and supporters argued over urban rural boundary plans around Vandenberg Village and Mission Hills. The panel, appointed by Supervisor Robert Hedlund, faces renewed scrutiny about its authority to shape land divisions and zoning before referring recommendations to the county planning commission. The session ended with calls to dissolve the body and accusations of overreach, though the committee plans to reconvene next Thursday.
