Mt. Shasta General Plan 2045: city council asked to slow process, consider more public input Mount Shasta Herald In a 4-1 decision Monday evening, Mount Shasta city councilors voted to continue with the General Plan 2045 process, with Tim Stearns – who has been airing concerns about the proposed plan for weeks – casting the sole "no" vote. The update of the city's general plan is a blazing hot topic, with people concerned that changes proposed in the draft are too sweeping for a city of Mount Shasta's size and character. "I have been going through public comment from both meetings, and my concern is that we've got the cart way in front of the horse," said City Attorney John Kenny. During the meeting, which had been continued from last week due to Zoom's cap on meeting participants, Kenny took a moment to remind the council that the plan is not set in stone and that its ultimately a project of the city's planning commission.
