Developer unveils new version of Lilac Hills Ranch, but the density remains the same

News Desk
Lilac Hills Ranch has been revamped and unveiled as the county’s “first carbon-neutral” development.

The development’s number of units remains the same as the project that voters defeated by a margin of two to one in November 2016. It has a different developer, however, Ranch Capital, rather than the Accretive Group, although Ranch Capital was always a backer of Accretive.  Project Manager is now Valley Center resident Jon Rilling.

​As before, the density is 1,746 and that includes 468 for 55 plus residents/age restricted. The new plan includes numerous housing types including homes, townhomes, mixed-use, etc. “The majority of the homes will range from the $300,000s to the $600,000s for working families,” said a spokesman.

​The project would still require a general plan amendment from the Board of Supervisors. Although the voters rejected the project in 2016, nothing prevents the developer from resubmitting it in a different form.

​The Clear the Air Coalition released the following statement today:
 
“The San Diego County Board of Supervisors made a sound public policy decision today when it voted unanimously to conduct a thorough apples-to-apples analysis of all options to reach its renewable energy goals prior to selecting an option in 18 months – a recommendation our coalition asked the county to consider. Proceeding with a new energy procurement model is a major endeavor that could carry significant taxpayer risks. It is critical the County make this decision with a full understanding of the risks and benefits, and what it may mean for our region’s economy and communities.

“Special thanks to our coalition co-chairs for addressing the supervisors today: Haney Hong, President and CEO of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association; Rev. Gerald Brown of the United African American Ministerial Action Council; and Ruben Barrales, President of the Latino Leadership & Policy Forum.

​“The Clear the Air Coalition is a diverse group of community, business and civic leaders from throughout the San Diego region that supports reaching our climate goals in a cost‐effective manner. Our organization applauds the County’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a way that supports our economy and protects local communities. We look forward to continue working with the County on this important effort.”

About: The Clear the Air Coalition is a group of business, environmental, civic and taxpayer leaders working to ensure a diverse range of voices is heard and important questions are answered before critical decisions are made about San Diego’s climate future.

How New Tax Law Impacts Low-Income Housing

2/14/2018

By ​Sue Reynolds & Matt Schwartz
While the congressional action to adopt the 2017 tax law was pretty partisan, there is bipartisan recognition that it inadvertently — but dangerously — weakened the major financing tool used to create tens of thousands of apartments with below-market rents for homeless people, seniors and low-wage working families, called the Low Income Housing Tax Credit.

​For the San Diego region, it could mean the loss of as many as 5,000 affordable apartments in the next 10 years. With San Diego’s homelessness crisis top of mind with voters, and generating headlines every day, there is a cross-party agreement that we can’t afford to weaken tools we rely on to build a better tomorrow.

Coalition wants illegal costs generated by government-controlled energy programs eliminated

CPUC to vote on proposal that would potentially save utility customers millions of dollars and eliminate an unfair and illegal cost.

SAN DIEGO (February 2, 2018) – The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will soon vote on a proposal to eliminate an illegal cost shift that could potentially save California utility customers millions of dollars.

​In the San Diego region, this would protect millions of utility customers who would be forced to pay more than their fair share for electricity as government-controlled energy programs, known as Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), are adopted by some cities. Under current regulations, CCA customers are paying less than their fair share of energy reliability costs during their first year of operation, according to the CPUC. The CPUC proposal is intended to end this unfair cost shift.
