Please attend this very important Planning Commission hearing on the proposed Dixon Ranch development: Thursday, Dec 10th, 8:30am, 2850 Fairlane Ct. Bldg 'C' Planning Commission hearing room, Placerville Dixon Ranch is a General Plan amendment, converting 280 acres of low density oak-studded land into a 605-unit high-density housing development. Located behind the strawberry stand on Green Valley Rd, about 44% of the oaks will be replaced with tightly clustered housing. The completed EIR (Environmental Impact Report) goes to Planning Commission for a vote next week (12/10). This is a sampling of the less-than-reasonable points being made in the EIR:
The developer is not entitled to proceed with this project - it is a General Plan amendment, and a choice our elected officials will be making. If you oppose amending the General Plan in order to accommodate this project, you need to attend this hearing. Why?
If you support this increase in density and traffic, you're fine; you can stay home. But if not, you'd better be there to ask Commissioners to please retain the existing low-density land use. Send written comments (contact info below), tell a friend, attend the meeting and bring company, to help object to what is being done to the quiet rural character of our area.
