Coastal Commission Meeting with new Land Use Plan for West
Marin. Here is the nearly 6 hours of the Coastal Commission meeting
held on May 15, 2014 at the Inverness Yacht Club. I did not attend nor did I
watch the full video, yet. Marin County, Community Development Agency, led by Brian Crawford, presented a plan for Land Use Planning changes to be consistent with the objectives of Plan Bay Area.
Brian Crawford, Marin County Community Development Agency presented housing plans for West Marin. |
The Marin IJ only reported on the fracking protest that I
don't think was even covered inside the meeting. The real crux of the
issue, was Marin County radically altering property rights in the Ag. areas.
I listened briefly yesterday when one of the commissioners
from Southern California was debating if homes could be occupied by non
agricultural workers. Another commissioner wanted homes allowed to be built only if
occupants were blood relatives. Another request that "gentrified"
agriculture like wine be disallowed and that "agritainment" like farm
tours are banned.
Why should a politician from San Diego, have voting rights
to decide the use of farmland in West Marin? Shouldn't WE be deciding
this?
The CCC is an agency whose mission now seems to encompass a mission far greater than coastal access and is embarking on social engineering . They are an example of an administrative
JPA who threatens the very concept of local democracy.
This Coastal Commission Plan is bullshit |
