PETITION TO REJECT GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 1196 BEFORE THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

Owners of 238.5 acres of vacant land (and their agents) adjacent to Citrus Hill High School in unincorporated Riverside County just south of Riverside City seek amendment of the existing General Plan Foundation Component from Rural Community (RC) to Community Development (CD) and to amend its Land Use Designation from Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) to Low Density Residential (LDR) and Medium Density Residential (MDR).

We, the undersigned signers of this petition, are nearby residents affected by this proposal, totally oppose this proposal and demand that it be denied, refused and rejected in toto.

This proposal if passed and implemented will result in a substantial deterioration of our rural and quiet community; increase crime and the need for many government services, decrease the value of our properties, increase area traffic and population substantially, negatively affect endangered species (including the kangaroo rat) now inhabiting the subject area, increase light during darkness, and increase pressure on already overcrowded local schools.
