Dear Placer County representatives-
It has come to my attention that there are several developments in the works here in Granite Bay which do not adhere to the long standing Granite Bay Community Plan. When I read the Plan, I agree with its overall sentiment that Granite Bay is, and should remain, a community with a rural feeling due to the large lot sizes. That's the reason why the overwhelming majority of us bought homes here. These developments clearly violate the intention of the Community Plan.
I find it very disturbing that these projects are being considered without adequate input from the existing residents. I am guessing that the proponents of these developments have found legal loopholes through which they can justify unilaterally modifying our Community Plan. But just because someone can find a legal pathway does not make it right.
I am sure that there are residents who support these developments. It's even possible that some of them may not benefit financially from such developments. But everyone I have heard from, and I believe an overwhelming majority of current Granite Bay residents, oppose these developments. Personally, I oppose any development that requires modification of the Granite Bay Community Plan that does not have at least a majority of community support. I'm not saying it is not possible to design such a development that might gain the support of the existing residents. But until such majority support has been proven, I do not think Community Plan modifying developments should proceed.
I am not anti-development by any means. I do feel strongly that the continued development of Granite Bay should adhere to the Community Plan. Please do not proceed with any plan that requires the modification of the Granite Bay Community Plan unless and until majority community support can be proven.
Thank you,
