This post will be where we document the conditions of Felicita Creek pre-Oak Creek development. Runoff, water quality, and erosion impacts on Felicita Creek, Felicita Park, and downstream residents is a major concern that we do not believe has been adequately addressed by the decision-makers in this project.
Here are the videos we offer as attachments to our January 14, 2016 letter.

Update #3: Even MORE attacks on the County's new General Plan-- 43 to be exact!
Here is another update from an ally.
On December 17th, the County of San Diego held a scoping meeting regarding a Notice of Preparation (NOP) to make General Plan Amendments (GPAs) for 43 Property Specific Requests (PSRs). All 43 of these requests call for zoning changes to increase density, mostly in rural North County San Diego. In total, these requests call for up to an additional 2,800 dwellings. This meeting was not Lilac Hills Ranch related, but there are several new requests regarding property in Valley Center and Bonsall that are in the same vicinity. It is of grave concern that after 13 years, $18 million dollars, and countless public meetings, developers are attempting to subvert the General Plan. It should be noted that the Board of Supervisors directed the planning department to initiate these GPA/PSR studies less than 1 year after the General Plan was adopted at an estimated cost of at least an additional $1.5 million dollars to tax payers. This lacks transparency and begs some questions about a conflict of interest.
Here is a link to the scoping meeting and specific maps: http://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/pds/advance/PSR.html
The public comment period ends February 4th. Please write the County and let them know that the General Plan should not be monkeyed with. There is plenty of growth allowed in the General Plan in the planned places. They should not be increasing it elsewhere.

County staff weighs in on Safari Highland Ranch proposal
We recently received a copy of the County staff comments on the Notice of Preparation for the Safari Highlands Ranch project. October, 2015 Letter from SD County staff on SHR. We are especially glad that the staff noted the number of annexations coming from Escondido, lack of impact fees, concerns about PAMA compliance, concerns about storm water compliance, and the lack of an adopted multiple species conservation plan for Escondido. These are just a few major problems with this project. Stay tuned!
