Areas of Difference – Chapter 4 and Appendix L Comments The following comments relate to both Chapter 4 of the EIR and Appendix L Discussing the Areas of Difference Property of Description BO 1 Stacco(5) Steep slopes, wetlands, and critical biological After reviewing the constraints of the property owners for a change in their density the BCSG has created this matrix for quick summary of why we support the Environmentally Superior Map for these requested density changes. The Chapter on Vision and Guiding Principles of the General Plan EIR states in Guiding Principle 4 that the plan promotes environmental stewardship that protects the range of natural resources and habitats that uniquely define the County’s character and ecological importance plus Guiding Principle 8 to preserve agriculture as an integral component of the region’s economy, character, and open space network. As these two Guiding Principles are also part of our Community Plan we feel we are requesting the appropriate map for both the Community and the County’s General Plan. If however the Environmentally Superior Map is not selected we would appreciate a separate review of these properties based on the Guiding Principles of environmental and agriculture loss.
