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.
