The Carmel Valley Association (CVA) congratulates
Carmel Valley residents on the extraordinary 72.8%
turnout in the recent election. Both sides of the
closely-fought Measure G campaign had the same
objectives, and differed only on the best means
to achieve them.
IF YOU VOTED YES ON G, you were likely convinced
that local control was the surest way to protect
our rural values and quality of life against
heedless development (driven by powers outside
the Valley not accountable to those who live
here).
IF YOU VOTED NO ON G, it was most likely because
you believed that incorporation would not “Keep
Carmel Valley Rural.”
Since so many of us want to preserve what
we have and keep growth “smart” and
carefully planned, let’s get together
and achieve what we all clearly want—to
keep the development lobby (and the Board of
Supervisors) honest and defend our quality
of life.
CVA—which has dedicated the past 60
years to doing just that—wants you to
join us. We’re nine hundred strong and
represent all residents and property owners.
We track development applications, research
project plans comparing them to existing code,
and comment at hearings on issues that are
in violation of the Carmel Valley Master Plan.
We also actively enjoy the quality of life
we’re committed to protect—with
social gatherings and cultural events throughout
the year, including our annual picnic (better
attended this year than ever in our history).
You are invited to join with CVA and have
a voice in local land use issues.
