Steadfast/Aliso Ridge EIR Update Based on community input, the City of Mission Viejo decided that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was required to address the expressed concerns of the citizens. The scoping meeting was held Feb. 16, 2005, to provide public consultation on the topics that should be addressed by the EIR. When the EIR was published in September, a number of interested parties, including residents who attended the scoping meeting, did not receive notice as provided by law. I contacted Community Development Director Chuck Wilson regarding this oversight, and he agreed to reset the deadline for comments to Mon., Nov. 21, 2005. All comments must be received in writing by that date by the city to be considered. A copy of the EIR is available at There are four parts, totaling nearly 1,000 pages. While this document can be overwhelming, it is very important that each person who is concerned about the devastating impacts this project will have on our city must take the time to comment. Your comments should be specific and address at least one concern. For example, one might be concerned about the impacts of traffic, residential development's excessive usage of city resources or other issues. Over the next week or so, I will post excerpts of the EIR that focus on the most egregious impacts onhttp://www.missionviejoca.org/Issues/issues.html. Please take the time to write your comments and send them to Chuck Wilson, Director of Community Development, 200 Civic Center, Mission Viejo, CA 92691. If you have questions, you can email me at the address shown above or contact Chuck Wilson at (949) 470-3053. |
