Yolo County General Plan By Matt Rexroad on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 @ 9:56 PM :: 0 Comments :: Blog   We had a long Board of Supervisors meeting today.  The key topic of the day was the Yolo County General Plan. The key points were that --- The area between Davis and the causeway is going to be studied for economic development. The Woodland proposal did not change much. The agriculture districts were limited to naming only Clarksburg and Capay Valley.  I voted against this because I think we should leave our options open.  The motion passed 4-1. I also lost 4-1 on studying Madison to include anywhere from 80-1000 homes.  It just does not seem smart to me to keep adding people to the problem there. We voted 3-2 to continue the plan in Knights Landing. I voted in favor of this but was very reluctant.  I came very close to voting no. We passed a motion that I helped craft on Dunnigan.  This put the scope of the EIR on Dunnigan to include 5,000 to 7,500 homes.  It increased the acres by 500, and did away with the density requirement of 8 units/acre.  I wanted to change the way the jobs language was crafted but was not quick enough on my feet.  This motion passed 4-1 with McGowan voting no.  What I liked about the meeting is that we had coalitions being built all over the place.  I think Duane, Mike, and I all lost on 4-1 votes at some point along the way.  Then we got over it and tried to build the next coalition for the next item. That is the way it should be.
