Soil and Water to initiate update of LaSalle County LISA scoring; zoning board agrees to review
Summary
LaSalle County Soil and Water asked the zoning board to begin updating the county’s Land Inventory Site Assessment (LISA) scoring system; the board agreed to circulate the current worksheet to members and coordinate the update with the County Land Use Committee.
Vicki Heath of the LaSalle County Soil and Water Conservation District asked the Zoning Board of Appeals to begin an update of the county’s LISA (Land Inventory Site Assessment) scoring system, which the district last revised in 2013–2014.
Heath said some categories—such as how sewer and water are scored—can skew results for uses that do not require public sewer and water (for example, certain mining or solar uses), and suggested adding an "not applicable" category for specific questions to avoid mis-scoring sites. She asked whether the zoning board would be willing to begin the update and to coordinate review with the County Land Use Committee.
Board members expressed support for starting the update. Chair Sandy Billard and staff agreed that the land-use office would circulate a blank copy of the current worksheet to members, collect suggested edits, and then compile comments for follow-up with the Land Use Committee. No formal vote was recorded; staff and the Soil and Water district will continue the review process and report back to the board and the land-use committee.
