Salida SteamPlant

Salida Mountain Trails (SMT) is hosting a one-night-only concert and psychedelic light show featuring local legends, Roundhouse Assembly! Event proceeds will benefit SMT and the nonprofit’s mission to create and maintain trails, steward public lands, and promote a vibrant trail community. “We’re grateful for Roundhouse Assembly's generosity in organizing this far-out fundraiser,” said Jon Terbush, Director of Salida Mountain Trails. “The band puts on unbelievable performances. If you dig good tunes and Salida’s trails, you don’t want to miss this show.” The concert will take place Saturday, April 19, at the SteamPlant. In addition to the music, the event will feature an "ecstatic dance light show" courtesy of Lane Willson. Dancing is not only allowed, but encouraged. This event will coincide with Bicycle Day, a fitting holiday for a community full of bicyclists and Deadheads. Roundhouse Assembly is a Salida-based band whose influences include Grateful Dead, The Band, and the Allman Brothers Band. Roundhouse's sets showcase the ensemble’s passion for improvisational jams and vocal harmonies that get the dance floor shaking. "Please join us for a Bicycle Day celebration to raise funds for our amazing trail system,” said Aaron Robbins, of Roundhouse Assembly. “Whoa-oh, what I want to know, will you come with me?" Tickets cost $25 in advance, or $30 at the door. Tickets are available at salidamountaintrails.org Date: Saturday April 19 Time: Doors Open 6pm; Show 7-10pm Ticket price: $25 advance, $30 at the door

The City of Salida invites residents, business owners, developers, and other stakeholders to a public meeting introducing the consolidated draft Land Use Code and new draft Zoning Map on Tuesday, April 22nd from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the SteamPlant Event Center. Refreshments and light snacks will be provided. Salida has not undergone a comprehensive rewrite of its Land Use Code in nearly 15 years.  The community has obviously seen significant changes since then, and it is time for an update. The draft Land Use Code and Zoning Map are built on the foundation of the Future Land Use Mapping process completed in 2022 and 2023. Together, they implement key elements of Salida’s Comprehensive Plan, shaping how the community will grow and develop in the years to come—guiding both opportunities and limitations. “This is just the beginning of the next chapter of public feedback,” said Bill Almquist, Director of Community Development for the City of Salida. “We want the community to understand what’s proposed, why it matters, and how to stay engaged.” Meeting Highlights: Overview of the consolidated draft Land Use Code and proposed Zoning Map Explanation of how the documents align with Salida’s Comprehensive Plan Opportunity for Q&A and initial public input Details on upcoming opportunities for more detailed feedback Recording of the presentation will be available on the City’s website after the event The final draft is expected to move forward for Planning Commission and City Council consideration later this summer. Public input will continue to play a critical role throughout that process. The draft Land Use Code and proposed Zoning Map will be available on the website prior to the meeting at: www.cityofsalida.com/commdev
