It's Not Too Late - It's Easy to STOP

Parker's plan does NOT follow the rules of the El Dorado County General Plan.

Parker wants the County to accept a plan that must change the rules in order to
build more homes than the county allows on that land.

The County only has to vote NO to STOP Parker's plan.

​

Let the County know that you want them to vote NO - it's that easy!

Ugly Future of Gridlock and Water Shortage

Highway 50 will be a parking lot at Bass Lake Road — it was never designed to handle that many cars! And the county's water supply was not designed to handle this many houses. How can EID ask current residents to cut back water use while they push for 4,000+ new homes at the same time? Something doesn't add up...​

Higher Taxes

Parker's plan makes the public pay for water and roads. Public tax money is used when a builder doesn't pay for the infrastructure to bring in water lines and expand our roads. Your taxes (and County debt) will increase if this plan gets approved. The County's own financial analysis says this plan is a bad deal for El Dorado County.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS

Parker's plan destroys the rural beauty of El Dorado County.

Rural Not Suburbia

Parker is trying to get the County to REZONE our area — to change it from rural land into big-city suburbia. That change only benefits Parker's pocketbook - not yours!

Horrible Traffic

This plan doesn't account for all the new traffic jams it will cause and it doesn't include Parker Development paying for the new Bass Lake Rd. interchange - your tax dollars will pay for it!

Cracked Mud

Water Shortage

There isn't enough water supply or treatment plants to handle this many new homes in our area. Your EID water rates will go way up so that Parker can overload our water lines.

Forest Fire

Fire Hazard

Parker's plan puts you at risk. It ignores hazardous conditions that increase wildfire risk. As insurance companies drop homes and charge millions more - our area pays the price!

School Bus

Beyond Capacity

There will not be enough room in the classrooms. Your tax dollars will have to build new schools — not Parker's dollars! While Parker gets rich, your kids get gypped.

Deer

Wildlife
Displaced

Parker wants to plant big-city suburbia deep in our rural county. This plan destroys our biological resources, wildlife habitats, natural waterways and groundwater systems.

Noise Nonstop

Parker hopes you'll ignore the impact of noise pollution and how badly it affects the surrounding neighborhoods, the wildlife, and your everyday quality of life.

Parks Depleted

Cameron Park CSD is right up the road: With a huge increase in the number of people using their services but without any increase in tax revenue — it will quickly fall short for locals.

Dollars

Bad Money

The County's own financial analysis says this is a BAD financial plan for El Dorado. The county is still paying off debts from past developer’s with Public Funds — your tax dollars!
