Re: Item 4C
Chair and Members of the Planning Commission,
I’m writing on behalf of Sierra Club to convey our support for Oswit Land Trust
being allowed to proceed with the important work to rehabilitate the natural
desert on the Prescott Preserve. The Prescott Preserve will be unique in the
Coachella Valley, and richly deserves City support!
Since this is a restoration project, we concur it is exempt from
CEQA. However, many of the proposed conditions on the project seem
unwarranted. Upkeep of the area was abandoned for years by the prior
owner, and the work that needs to be undertaken will greatly benefit the City
and the environment.
Please approve this item, but with limited conditions. Thank you.
Very truly yours,
Joan Taylor, Chair
Tahquitz Group of the Sierra Club
