MAYBE NO RANCHO SAN JUAN S.S.

NO MATTER WHAT THE MONTEREY COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION DECIDES TODAY, REGARDING THE RANCHO SAN JUAN PROJECT, THE MONTEREY COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IS EXPECTED TO CONSIDER THE PROJECT AT A SPECIAL MEETING TOMORROW. AFTER 4 DAYS OF HEARINGS, AND NOTING CONCERNS ABOUT WATER AND TRAFFIC, THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS SAID YESTERDAY THEY DON?T FEEL THEY ARE READY TO APPROVE THE PROJECT THAT WOULD BUILD 4 THOUSAND HOUSES, ON 27 THOUSAND ACRES (LOCATED JUST NORTH OF SALINAS). PLANNING COMMISSIONERS ARE ALSO EVALUATING BUTTERFLY VILLAGE, (THE FIRST PHASE OF THE RANCHO SAN JUAN PROJECT). COUNTY PLANNERS AND LAWYERS HAVE SAID THAT IF THE PROJECT IS NOT APPROVED, THE COUNTY COULD BE SUED FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS (BY THE DEVELOPER WHO OWNS THE LAND).
