Sage Ranch Update from CEO Jeff C from GRB BoardI have taken the liberty to copy and paste below a post Jeff C made at 12:16 PM today on the Greenbriar Capital Stockhouse message board (
Post# 32046070) re Planning Board approval for Sage Ranch (50% PWR / 50% GRB.) [Jeff thank you for the very helpful info; I hope you don't mind me sharing this over here.] "The City is the lead agency in sponsoring the EIR. CEQA requires an EIR for any project over 500 homes. It is a very extensive document taking at least 12 - 24 months. The City is the party that gets sued if the CEQA document is not complete. The City has to address the water supply issue properly to make the the document complete before it goes to the Planning Commission. The City has been lazy in addressing the issue which it can do if it gets away from being lazy. The extension we requested was a red herring as the City made delays to avoid their not dealing with the water issue. The EIR correctly stated there is enough water in the basin to more than enough supply Sage Ranch. The CEQA rules require the EIR to then say how the City will obtain it, like them purchasing water rights and sell to Sage Ranch or the City can order the water district under an existing agreement to provide whatever it needs. Sage Ranch needs when fully built 363 AF per year. There is 2,400 AF per year that is unused in the water district. The Solution is simple. The City is being lazy. Our lawyers have warned them and the issue is at a serious crossroads for the City to get their heads out of the wrong place. It is the last remaining issue. I personally owned the property that comprised The Address and sold it to the developer 3 years ago. It will never get built as the homes will be from $600,000 to $800,000 which is way over market. The market is $300,000 to $400,000 Max. That is why Sage has apartments, small townhomes and small cottage homes. Under 500 homes does not require a EIR. The City approved The Address to make themselves feel compliant with housing. The State Housing department knows this was a ploy and supports watching closely the City making sure the City does not slow us down any more. State Housing can force City's to build if they are stopping a developer for racial or economic reasons, meaning our entry level houses cause local racists to fear we are bringing in minorities to town. 40% of the Armed forces is visible minority so the Feds and State won't let these guys get away with their real fears. We are catering to the Military and Aviation professionals who work 40 minutes away and don't want to be living in gang infested Palmdale and Lancaster in LA County. Tehachapi Valley is the safest region in Kern County and 44th safest in the State. I am sorry but the racists will lose their battle against Sage. Deliver the correct water report or else we are coming after you with big guns behind us, including the military becuase the military knows what game the City is playing. Waiting for the Water report to be done properly and its off to the Planning Commission who already gave us 4-0 prelim approval in Feb. 2019." JEFF CIACHURSKI
