There has been a rescheduling to Jan. 8 of the special Yucca Valley Town Council Meeting regarding a General Plan Amendment to rezone a Hillside Reserve to subdivide into four lots instead of one house per 20 acres. That meeting had been scheduled for Dec. 17 and was canceled due to weather.
Residents are concerned this could be a starting point to set precedence for further development of the town's remaining Hillside Reserves. Hillsides buffer lands and ecological linkages. Also, the proposed lot #4 is situated at the base of an alluvial fan. This project is at the most southern end of Valley Vista at Onaga, where there have been big problems with water runoff.
UPDATE: Apparently this issue will NOT be on the Jan. 8 agenda after all.
