Dear Friends,
The “Tassajara Valley Preservation Association” was formed back in 2016 to oppose the 125-home development next to Tassajara Hills Elementary School. The project was outside the county’s Urban Limit Line. Many of you supported us financially and emotionally when the Town of Danville, The Sierra Club, EBMUD, and other private parties filed three suits with the county to block the project.
The county approved the project in July 2021, disregarding its own Planning Commission's negative finding and EBMUD’s continued opposition to the project, including a June 2021 letter which contained EBMUD’s Board of Directors’ resolution denying water to the project.
The court ruled on June 27, 2023 that the project violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), primarily for lack of an assured water supply, and ruled in favor of the plaintiff.
The Tassajara Parks Project is Halted.
The next steps will most likely be an appeal by the developers, but at this point in time the bulldozers will not be rolling. We can celebrate this WIN!
We thank you for your support and we will keep you informed as to any movement on the project.
More historical background can be obtained on our website, tassajaravalleypa.org.
