public main sewer or would only require a limited
sewer extension to be served.

Objections to EIR and Project
• Contrary to County General Plan Urban Limit
Line Policy.
• Insufficient details and environmental
analysis of future development on
undeveloped properties.
• Defers mitigation of environmental impacts to
other agencies.
• Extending sewer service is growth inducing.
Request by New Owner of
Property #9
• Two Draft EIR comment letters were written
specifically about Property #9.
• Property #9 has since been purchased by new
owners who do not want it developed.
• New owners have requested removal from DA
168C.

Recent Communications

Valley property owners advocating removal of all
