[rha] Shredding Next Saturday, CERT & Water

Published: Sun, 07/24/22

Hey there

Our very pleasant upper 70's/low 80's weather looks like it will stick around for the next week. This makes it a great time to get out and into your yard or the neighborhood for a walk to enjoy the trees and fresh air.

Next Saturday (7/30) is our free Rossmoor Shredding Event, where you can get all your sensitive documents shredded on site (and then the shreds are recycled saving water and trees). It's a completely drive through event, so evening if you only have a small bag of financial documents to dispose of, stop on by between 8:00 a.m. and noon and then get on with your day knowing that little chore is done for you. This free RHA event is sponsored by Play It Again Sports.

And remember the RCSD's Pickleball Trials are set for July 27 - July 30 at Rossmoor Park. Details and times are blow for this free event.

CERT Training Academy

Because of COVID, we have not had a local CERT Training Academy since 2019. With those days behind us, our West County CERT is hosting the full 20-hour FEMA CERT program at the Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB) in Los Alamitos.

If you have not yet gone through the CERT program, you are in for a treat. You will learn about how to prepare yourself and your family to be ready for an emergency or disaster. The little things like having prescriptions and pet food in a easy to grab bag or box can make a huge difference when faced with a crisis.

The Team expects the Academy to fill up fairly quickly as it has been more than 2 years since the last course. Complete your application here today!

OC Housing Element - Public Review

This is just an fyi for the 30 day review period towards the ongoing County efforts to update their County Land Use General Plan.

Every county in the state is mandated to go through this process every ten years to make sure that their community development and redevelopment retains compatibility with existing structures and uses; hence the term general "plan." This type of process is what helps keep and direct compatible quality uses - residential, commercial, agricultural, etc., rather than allowing happenstance development. Each parcel in every county is examined, with county planning officials making recommendations to keep or change its zoned acceptable use.

What is specifically different this year is that the counties are mandated by State law to locate parcels that could accommodate more affordable housing.

This document does not create housing, it is merely a planning document - both to identify parcels of land, and to determine what possibilities exist, according to a public process of looking at the parcels, and coming to consensus with recommendations. This is only ONE part of the complete process.

This document has links to the complete general plan public process to date - the documents, the county hearings, and input from the pubic and various government officials who have been reviewing it.

This 30-day review is the County's required public process for a final "look" before the plan becomes the official document that directs the land-use blueprint for the county.

The public review period started on July 12, 2022 and goes to August 10, 2022. After this 30 day review period, the County Supervisors will hold a public hearing and make final decisions regarding plans for land use in Orange County to guide them from 2021-2029.

Water - Be Smart About It

Reservoirs around California are at record low levels as drought conditions
continue. We must all work together to protect our water resources. Take a
moment to look at your habits to see if there's any use of water you can reduce
or eliminate. More tips here
