Note: This is the hearing that had to be postponed on June 25 because the Wal-Mart Supercenter hearing went so late. The Stadum Project ("Yucca Valley Homes") is for 90 homes on 60 acres and would include mass grading. - ChrisC.
Greetings Members and Friends of MBCA,
The Yucca Valley Town Council is considering the "appealed" Yucca Valley Homes LLC (Stadum Project) that was denied by the Planning Commission on recommendation of Town Planning staff.
The applicant had three chances to present alternatives to mass grading of the two twenty-acre parcels at Acoma Drive and Joshua Lane. They basically told the Planning Commission to "take it or leave it". The Planning Commission denied it.
The Town Council had a special meeting about "Rural", "Lot sizes" and "Mass Grading" on May 15th. There were more than three hundred people there and by the show of hands in support of statements made, about 90% present were in support of stopping "mass grading".
Bob Stadum and Philip Fomotor didn't want to take notice of this local uprising, and we don't know if all members of the Town Council did either.
A test of the Native Plant Ordinance "as is" is coming to the Yucca Valley Town Council on Tuesday, July 8th, at 6:00 pm. Please attend this meeting if possible and make your concerns known to the Yucca Valley Town Council.
Sincerely,
David Fick,
President, MBCA
