Planning for Future Development Goes On
Friday, April 15, 2011 at 9:33AM One of the lessons driven home during the Chapter's recent tour of the Santa Clarita Valley with Edel Vizcarra, Supervisor Antonovich's chief planning deputy, is how long the development process can take in California. Frequently, larger master-planned developments take years, even decades, between the time they are proposed and built out.
So even with an economic downturn of historic proportions in the homebuilding industry, plans are still going forward. The Camarillo Acorn this morning reports on a public hearing to gain community input into a 7,400-acre proposed development along Highway 101 just west of the Conejo Grade. The Conejo Creek development would include 2,500 homes, along with commercial uses, open space, bike trails, and other amenities. As the paper's Roxanne Estrada wrote:
This is the third time Dennis Hardgrave of Development Planning Services in Camarillo has presented the project to the public, but the recent meeting showed public concern is still high.
“We’re doing all of this to make sure people understand the project and process, and we want to give them chances to give their input and opinions,” Hardgrave said. “We bring the input to the property owners that might be worth analyzing for alternatives.”
Giving the community the chance to weigh-in on a proposal early in the process is critically important in gaining ultimate approvals. The EIR for the project should be completed by summer.

I like this post, but want to say something .One of the most important factors in succession planning is the company vision, the ideals that are used to create the company mission statement. The people chosen to succeed retiring leaders should believe in these ideals and have a passion for leading the company while also caring about the success and health of employees and consumers. This will ensure than most organizational ethics problems are avoided and a good successor is chosen. boligsalg
