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.

acres as infrastructure resources are
limited. BCSG does support an alternate
use of a Boutique Hotel that was requested
