Next Meeting July 19th, 5:00 PM at Blacklake Community Room

Don’t miss our next public meeting and panel discussion on
Grassroots organizing in San Luis Obispo Countywith Susan Harvey, co-founder and past President of North County Watch
and Herb Kandel, Sane the Mesa and UCANN

Let’s learn from history to focus effectively on the future.  North County Watch started as Paso Watch in 2001, to oppose a development in much the same vein as the founding of NAC. In 2006 they became “North County Watch” to provide an active North County voice to counter sprawl in that rural area.  We’ll also hear about several volunteer organizations in Nipomo that have been devoted to shaping Nipomo and preserving our beautiful environment for everyone’s use.

Blacklake Community Room, 498 Colonial Place, Nipomo
Open to all who care about the future of Nipomo!

Refreshments will be served

The Dana Reserve Project will develop over 288 acres between Willow, Sandydale, Pomeroy, Hetrick, and Cherokee on the westside of Nipomo. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) identified 19 Un-mitigatable and significant issues including:

  • Housing (imbalanced housing to job ratio, greatly increasing traffic in an already traffic congested area)
  • Transportation (increase in traffic impact the surface roads throughout Nipomo)
  • Air Quality
  • Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  • Land Planning (multiple elements of the project are vastly out of alignment with the South County Area Plan, including how this land was intended to be developed vs the present project).
  • Biological impacts (3948 mature oak trees to be removed, federally endangered species to be removed, special habitants to be removed.)

The Final EIR can be seen here:
