46 Homes on the 9-acre Choice Nursery land!
The City of Vista is planning 46 homes on the Choice Nursery land at North Santa Fe and Camino Largo (near Guajome Adobe Park). This land is now zoned for 8 homes—one home per acre. The City will allow 46 homes—more than 5 homes per acre!
This is an outrageous increase in density. The City needs to preserve semi-rural and agricultural land, not put sprawl development on it.
The Vista Planning Commission voted to recommend denial of the development, because it is completely out of character with the surrounding rural lands. Unfortunately, a majority of the City Council (including John Franklin, candidate for Mayor in the upcoming November election) has expressed support for the project, and they do NOT have to follow the recommendations of their Planning Commission.
The final vote of the Council was scheduled in August but has been postponed. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted.
In the meantime, tell the City Council NO. Do NOT allow any project that increases density and destroys our semi-rural neighborhood. Any project on this land will add to traffic and greenhouse gasses, and lead to loss of open space, loss of agriculture, loss of neighborhood character, and all the ills of sprawl.
