After thoughtful deliberation, the Contra Costa County Planning Commission voted 4-2 to:
Reject the County’s Conservation and Development’s Staff Report recommending approval of the “Tassajara Parks” project.
Recommend to the Board of Supervisors that they deny the Applicant’s request for project approval.
The Planning Commission cited the following reasons for their decision:
The development is outside the Voter Approved Urban Limit Line.
The project does not have a water source, as East Bay Municipal Utility District will not supply water.
The County’s new General Plan is scheduled for their review in late July, and they would like to see how this development fits into the new General Plan.
Overwhelming opposition to the project.
It is unusual for the Planning Commission to reject County’s Staff recommendation. The Tassajara Valley Preservation Association is grateful for your continued support in shining a light onto this flawed project.
Please continue to share the petition with your Contra Costa County Friends and Neighbors. Today, we have 4,834 signatures! Every signature is important! Petition Link
This is a significant decision in our unified effort to HOLD THE URBAN LIMIT LINE!
We will continue to keep you updated on this project.
Very Sincerely,
Richard Fischer and Gretchen Logue
