UPLAN
UPLAN is a Partnership in Integrated Planning grant effort, between Amador, Alpine
and Calaveras RTPAs, Caltrans and UC Davis. UPLAN is a Geographic Information System
(GIS) model consisting of individual "layers" that can be superimposed upon one another
for a cumulative effect look at regional and county growth through the use of maps,
tables and reports that are generated. The Calaveras Council of Governments is
developing this model for potential inclusion as part of a General Plan update (can
be valuable in the "Alternatives" phase). UPLAN is an effective visualization tool
that populates itself based on land use assumptions and future population estimates
along with many other data sets. Outputs of the model can be used to forecast impacts
on various resources and infrastructure such as: open space, transportation systems,
water/sewer, environmental assets, etc. The UPLAN model is currently being run through
the Planning department and is intended as a "free" resource for the County/City. The
Calaveras Council of Governments supports the use of this model as a "planning" tool
but will not be using the model separate from the County/City General Plan update
process.
