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.
