MBCA, our conservation partners, and Morongo Basin residents participated in the SPARC process to provide RECE input. MBCA is encouraged that our positions have been incorporated.
Why is the Community Plan Workshop important?
The County’s Land Use Services staff will present their revised community-based land use map for review. The map revisions will be used in land use modeling & environmental analysis for the General Plan update. This is the public’s opportunity to review zoning maps & determine if they align with our Community Plans.
The need to correctly site solar projects in our communities is one example of the importance for our involvement in the land use map review now and to stay engaged during the Community Plan process. There are long-term implications to decisions being made!
If you are able, please attend the Planning Commission meeting and Community Plan workshop: Nov. 3 at 9 A.M.
Sincerely,
Sarah Kennington, MBCA President
