Feedback the County Needs to Hear! 

Stop focusing on just the numbers!
The online Balancing Act tool incorrectly places the focus on the numbers and
forces the public to select sites that the County consultants identified that in many cases are inappropriate. 

Do not propose development sites that are in or near sensitive habitat areas,
hazardous areas, and areas that will be impacted by climate change (rising sea levels and wildfire, to name a few). 

Do not propose sprawling development sites in rural areas
away from appropriate infrastructure, transportation, and public services.
This will increase vehicle miles traveled, moving us away from climate goals. 

Ensure new housing will be for people to live in and not converted to vacation rentals.
Housing must be for the people who need it most in our communities and not create additional displacement.

Protect agricultural lands.
It's unacceptable to rezone A-60 parcels to build urban sprawl housing.

Consider the meaningful input of environmental and housing advocates
who worked, in the past, to tirelessly identify appropriate development sites, connect past planning efforts
of the Countywide Plan goals and visions, and develop the recently adopted Climate Action Plan. 

Create pathways for broad and equitable public outreach.
Online meetings do not provide the public with meaningful input and understanding of the proposed development sites.
The County should come out into the community in-person to identify potential locations appropriate for development.
Each coastal village is unique and has specific needs for housing, protection of rural community character, and unique environmental resources.
