San Diego County Democrats for Environmental Action were part of the coalition that opposed, and defeated, the Lilac Hills Measure B proposal in 2016, and we similarly stood fast against backcountry sprawl in our advocacy for Measure A earlier this year.

But being a zombie project, the proposed Lilac Hills development near Valley Center has never really gone away – it's just been repackaged, even as county staff and the county fire authority have "determined the project is unsafe and is recommending denial of the project."

This Friday, June 12, at 9 a.m. the Planning Commission will hold what our friends at San Diegans Against Lilac Hills Ranch describe as an "unprecedented" hearing on the Lilac Hills Ranch proposal, with it being the single item on Friday's Planning Commission agenda.

Take a moment now to submit your comments to the Planning Commission, and be sure they're in by 7:30 a.m. Friday morning to be considered.

According to the San Diegans Against Lilac Hills Ranch team, t
he protocol to speak at the Planning Commission hearing is as follows:
  • Prior to 9 a.m. on Friday, log into the speakers link and complete the requested information.
  • The last four digits of your phone will be your participant number that will be used by the County for notifying you when it is your turn to speak.
  • Be sure to unblock any caller I.D. restrictions you may have on your phone.
  • Friday morning at 9 a.m., call the Planning Commission speaker line at (619) 343-2539 and enter code 7871422300#
  • Once you do this, you will then be listening to the hearing in real time. Directions will be provided by staff.
  • The Lilac Hills Ranch project is the only item on the agenda. If your call is dropped, just call back in.

BE AWARE: The hearing is live while on the phone, but if you're watching the video streaming it will be delayed by 45 seconds. Utilize the phone audio, not the streaming audio.
