California Forever revisions shrink proposed footprint by 1,100 acres
California Forever refiled its East Solano Homes, Jobs, and Clean Energy Initiative on Monday, shrinking the proposed footprint of its new community to 17,500 acres from 18,600 acres. Language has been added to ensure that, if passed, Solano County will have the right to enforce the development agreement, including all guarantees made by California Forever to the voters, through the duration of the development agreement. … On water, the plan has adapted to include language ensuring it will meet standards of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act and other regulations to “protect groundwater uses in the long term and assure that neighboring uses are protected.” Imported water will be used to augment groundwater replenishment “to the extent it is needed,” the new details explain. Additional water sources will be identified “in other parts of the state,” according to new language.
