Thanks to everyone who came out to the first meeting to introduce the proposed Mane Street Overlay! Your interest and participation is greatly appreciated and I am very glad for the feedback that I’ve gotten so far. Here are a few updates…
Intro Presentation #2
I’ll be doing a separate public presentation next Sunday, August 8th at Fire Station 38 at 7PM for those who were unable to attend the first presentation. This is going to be the same material followed by a Q&A so if you attended the first one you probably don’t need to come to this one as well (but you are welcome to!). Fire Station 38 is located at 5380 Mountain View Road, Pioneertown, CA 92268
Feedback/Comments
I would love to hear your questions, comments and concerns about the proposal – feel free to find me in person, email me here (k.ben.loescher [at] gmail.com) or give me a ring at 310-745-9211. I’ll be posting answers to questions about the why and how on Pioneer.town/locals; concerns and suggestions about the content are being compiled so that they can be addressed. Any feedback received before August 22nd, will be used to revise the proposal and those comments (whether supportive or not) will be included as an attachment when the proposal is sent to San Bernardino County.
Schedule:
This is the working schedule for the proposed Overlay leading up to submission.
- Community Intro Presentation 1: 7/25/2021 (Complete)
- Community Intro Presentation 2: 8/8/2021
- Deadline to receive comments for consideration/incorporation: 8/22/2021
- Final Pre-Submission Document Posted: 9/12/2021
- Overlay formally submitted to San Bernardino County: 9/17/2021
After submission, the schedule for formal feedback, public hearings and approvals will be set by San Bernardino County Planning – I’ll keep everyone in the loop as that develops. As a reminder, what is going on now is just to get feedback and build consensus – the formal process will occur after submission and will be administered by the County.
Supporting Documents:
Attached here are two documents that were discussed in the presentation and which are critical to the Overlay proposal. These are:
The Pioneertown Communities Action Guide. This is the document that San Bernardino County Planning put together to document the goals, aspirations and concerns of Pioneertown residents that we wanted to see addressed in future land use regulation.
Mane Street National Register Historic District Nomination. This is the nomination, created by the Friends of Pioneertown, that was accepted by the California Office of Historic Preservation and U.S. Department of Interior creating the Mane Street historic district. This document contains information on the history of Pioneertown, the features that make it historically significant, and design standards for new construction.
