RE: General Plan Amendments 921 and 1129

Dear Supervisors,

We are home owners and residents that are categorically opposed to these projects. These projects will add a 1,000 new homes and 10,000s of new vehicle trips to our already congested area. We do not support the removal of the Rural Community Estate Density Residential Land Use (2-acre) and the Rural Policy Area. This area needs to remain rural.

These projects are located in the center of a large area planned by the County of Riverside, the Cities of Menifee, Murrieta and the future City of Winchester as rural. There is no support in the community for approving these incompatible land uses. The City of Menifee and the Winchester Town Association do not support these projects as they are not consistent with the General Plans and community visions for this area.

These proposals would place high density urban development in the middle of a rural community. There are over 23,000 homes already approved in the County east of this area. The construction of 1000’s of small lot homes within this Rural Policy Area is not warranted and should be denied by the Board of Supervisors. The approval of these projects would adversely affect the community and would be detrimental to our way of life.

We do support developments that comply with the current General Plan and would be consist with rural land uses and life styles. "Riverside County, like a quilt, is a composite of differing lifestyles connected together through common strands. The County's General Plan is designed to ensure that the quilt retains its core identity by guiding future growth that respects the diversity of the region, shapes and configures development in relation to the land it occupies and ensures that its various parts relate to its whole.” - Riverside County Planning Department website

Please honor the County Strategic Plan Stated Mission and Goals and protect the Vision of the General Plan by denying GPA 921 and 1129 and preserve this area for rural uses.

Respectfully submitted
