September 2016 Update

Join us on Tuesday, September 13th

Voice of Scripps Ranch will be providing an update on information and activities at the Tuesday, September 13th SRCA meeting at 7:00 pm in the Scripps Ranch Library conference room.   Come participate and learn about this school district project that evicts a local charter school for a 4 story apartment complex with questionable financial benefits and disruptive negative impacts to the surrounding neighborhood.

Where is the Environmental Review?

The community is still waiting to participate in the apartment project environmental review process, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) laws.

We expect to see a Notice of Preparation (NOP) announcement from the school district, to solicit input on the scope and content of the draft EIR for the proposed project.

Pursuant to CEQA guidelines, all comments regarding the scope and content of the environmental analysis must be submitted no later than 30 days after receipt of the NOP.  Typically areas of EIR analysis are: Noise, Hazardous Material, Cultural Resources, Biological Resources, Lighting, Geo-technical, Traffic, Greenhouse Gas and Air Quality, Water Quality.

To learn what to expect from the school district EIR analysis, check out the SDUSD Environmental Reviews/Studies website.

Don’t Just Fly, Soar!

Neal Obermeyer - 2016-08-04 Proposition Z Charter Schools

In this week’s San Diego Reader (8/4/2016), the lead editorial cartoon is on the folly of using Prop. Z money for the Innovations Academy relocation.

Thank you Mr. Obermeyer! – you are “Spot On” about the San Diego Unified School District project that evicts a local charter school for a 4 story apartment project with questionable financial benefits for charter schools, taxpayers and children!

Consider sending a Letter to the Reader Editor, to thank Mr. Obermeyer for running the cartoon at: Letter to the Editor.
