The Wellington Equestrian Preserve is a unique feature of the Village of Wellington.  Recognized as a core component of Wellington’s comprehensive land use plan, the Equestrian Preserve consists of 9,000 acres of open green space, bridle paths, show grounds, and low-density housing, all dedicated to foster a pastoral equestrian-oriented community.  Currently, there are two proposed amendments to the Wellington Master Plan (2022-0002-CPA and 2022-0002-CPA) that are scheduled for review and consideration by the Village Council and other municipal committees.  These amendments, if passed, would allow for substantial residential and commercial development in the Equestrian Preserve that is antithetical to the Village’s long-standing land use plan, opposed by the overwhelming majority of its residents, and would destroy the distinctive character and beauty of the community.  

We, the undersigned, are opposed to the proposed changes to the Wellington Equestrian Preserve and respectfully urge the Wellington Village Council and other municipal committees to vote “NO” to each and every part of the following proposed land use amendments:

Wellington North (the “Lagoon” at Equestrian Village)

Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2022-0002-CPA

Master Plan Amendment 2022-0004-MPA

and

Wellington South (the “Estates” at Equestrian Village)

Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2022-0003-CPA

Master Plan Amendment 2022-0005-MPA.
