Orange County Supervisors: Do Not Appeal Saddle Crest Ruling

Please vote AGAINST appealing the court's sound decision overturning the Saddle Crest project and associated plan amendments.

Why is this important?

On July 26, Superior Court Judge Stephen L. Perk overturned the Orange County Board of Supervisors’ approval of the gated 65-unit Saddle Crest housing tract in Trabuco Canyon and plan amendments that raised the traffic ceiling on Santiago Canyon Road and repealed oak tree and open space protections. On September 10, the Board will consider whether to join the Saddle Crest developer in appealing Judge Perk’s decision. Before the September 10 deadline, please urge the supervisors NOT to appeal the court’s sound decision upholding the laws that protect our rural canyon areas.
