The Safeguard Our San Diego (SOS) Countryside Initiative prevents large-scale developments from going forward in rural, back-country locations without first getting voter approval. The STAY COOL for Grandkids (SC4G) Advisory Committee unanimously endorses this and encourages our members to learn more about it, consider signing the petition to ensure it gets on the ballot, and perhaps contribute financially or with your time to gather more signatures.
This initiative protects the existing approved General Plan for rural San Diego County, a plan which meets all projected housing needs of the unincorporated county and has broad community support. It only affects land in the unincorporated areas of the County; it has no effect in our local cities, some of which already have similar ordinances to empower their citizens.
