Our VISION
Exceptional quality of life with a strong sense of community, rural character, managed growth, and opportunity for all.
Your elected Board of Supervisors (BOS) are there to maintain the vision in the the County's Strategic and General Plans. In the Strategic Plan, your Supervisors have promised to honor and protect our natural and historical resources, agriculture, and rural character for future generations.
The Board of Supervisors are going to vote "yes or no" to allow Parker +G3 to be build nearly 5,000 houses in the rural pasture lands and oak forest hills south of Highway 50, between El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park. YOU CAN STOP THIS!
How will they decide their vote? The Board of Supervisors is to review all proposed plans - such as Parker +G3's plans - to be sure they follow the the laws, rules and guidelines in the County's Strategic and General Plans. If the plan is in violation of the rules, the Board of Supervisors should be compelled to vote "no." With five Supervisors, it only takes three "no" votes to defeat Parker +G3's plans.
Parker +G3's plans for the Village of Marble Valley & Lime Rock Valley Specific Plans (VMVSP/LRVSP) do not follow the County's Strategic and General Plans. They are asking the Board of Supervisors to allow them "special entitlements," such as rezoning from rural land use into high-density housing and commercial land uses, in order to pass the plans.
In the Strategic Plan, your Supervisors have promised to honor and protect our natural and historical resources, agriculture, and rural character for future generations.
However, you voted for the new County Board of Supervisors: Their duty is to protect the rural character of our county and follow the General Plan guidelines that were put in place to limit sprawl and retain the rural character of the County.
The new Board of Supervisors and Planning Commissioners:
Have not all heard your opinion yet!
They were just voted in - so they are new and need to know they work for you!
They care about their public appearance - your opinion matters!
They want to hear from you - in person, in a letter/email, or at the meetings.
Your comments count! The more opposition (comments, letters, emails) the more the Supervisors understand how the public feels. Comments go on record and will be considered in how the Supervisor’s vote - and they count toward future lawsuits, if necessary.
You have the power to STOP this Inform your neighbors, attend the critical hearings, comment at the meetings or submit comment by letter or email. Visit your local Supervisor, sign a petition, let them know you will start a recall, start a referendum or an initiative, let them know there will be a lawsuit if the County's Strategic Plan is not upheld.
