This group is one willing to fight against the Developer’s continued push to build on the El Dorado Hills old Executive Golf Course. If he succeeds, the quality of life in EDH will be in jeopardy. Please don’t lose your will to fight against this development as it will soon be at your doorstep.
Don’t forget, over 1,900 of you signed the petition to stop the rezone here on this website. We appreciate your support and may call on you again in the future.
Cheers.
Here are a couple of videos about Town Hall meetings that were held near the end of 2015 to discuss Measure E:
Measure E Text
Should the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors re-zone the approximately 100 acres of the former executive golf course in El Dorado Hills from its current land use designation as “open space recreation” to a designation that allows residential housing and commercial development on the property?

And here are the results of the November election:
In the Draft Development Agreement for the CEDHSP (Golf Course Rezone) this is stated:
“E. The Project will provide neighborhood, community and County-wide benefits, as more fully detailed in this Agreement, including:
1. Fiscally neutral impacts on County services (Section 3.9 and FIA); “
It goes on to say “.. a net negative fiscal impact upon the County General Fund and County Road Fund. Developer and County shall form a community facilities district (“CFD”) or other mutually acceptable financing to generate annual revenues to the County sufficient to eliminate the identified negative fiscal impact to both the County General Fund and the County Road Fund.”
In my opinion, this is not a BENEFIT because in fact, the negative fiscal impact will start at the beginning of the project and over 15 years will amount to a deficit of $4,885,000, and the deficit will continue in perpetuity.
How will this deficit be made up? Higher taxes on the residents of El Dorado County. This may benefit the County but NOT the residents!
I don’t know about you but in addition to property taxes and other taxes, I pay about $1,000 additional taxes (Mello Roos) per year toward roads and County infrastructure and the roads continue to deteriorate.
This is not a Benefit.
This is one of many reasons this project is not good for the residents of El Dorado County and that is why I oppose this project.
Thanks to you we have quickly reached over 1200 signed petitions on this website to “say NO to the rezone”. 
Additionally, we have a poll posted on Nextdoor that has resulted in 87 percent of you who are against the rezone.
That tracks well with the voter turnout in 2015.
If you experience problems contact admin@parksnotparker.org.
Please note, you must be a registered voter of El Dorado County and reside in El Dorado County to sign this petition. Thank you.
