We have frequently mentioned LAFCO, Orange County’s Local Agency Formation Commission, in articles relating to South County governance and cityhood. After all, “LAFCO is the most important government agency you have never heard of.” There have been a couple recent developments at LAFCO that illustrate how much the agency is thinking about Rancho Mission Viejo [...]

http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/4538 http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/4478 Google Maps has a cool new feature where you can tilt the map and get a topographical view of an area. We decided to have some fun and lay the boundaries for Planning Area 2 over a topographical map of the region. Below is the result — note the boundaries aren’t perfect. We were just [...] http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/3584 Susan Wilson is the Chairwoman of the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission. What is LAFCO? Well, if you’ve been reading our blog, you would know that when it comes to South County local governance and cityhood, LAFCO is the most important government agency you’ve never heard of. Wilson has written a guest opinion piece, [...] http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/2550 With the success of Sendero (originally known to some of us as Planning Area 1), Rancho Mission Viejo is already working on Planning Area 2: For those who are just starting the home shopping process, Rancho Mission Viejo would still welcome you out. As Johnson explained, “We’re already working on Planning Area 2 to begin [...] http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/2987 According to the San Juan Capistrano Patch, San Juan Capistrano city officials got their seat at the table when LAFCO begins discussing local governance options for unincorporated South Orange County. No word yet on whether the Ladera Ranch Civic Council received the same courtesy. You know how we feel about that. Recall, in an earlier [...] http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/2965 In a way, we blame the Ladera Ranch Civic Council for starting this. They started talking about Rancho Mission Viejo/Ladera Ranch cityhood before the first resident had moved into Sendero. The Ladera Civic Council had a roadmap for cityhood and began pursuing it. Don’t get us wrong — cityhood is an important issue. We’ve been [...] http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/2431 The Orange County Fair will run from July 12the through August 11th this year. The theme will be “Come and Get It” and will celebrate Orange County’s cities with a community flag salute, presented by local organizations. In addition, visitors can watch a multimedia presentation of Orange County’s most iconic people, places and events every [...] http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/2367 For the last few days, we’ve been discussing the issue of cityhood in detail. Yesterday, we used the Ladera Ranch Civic Council’s letter to Supervisor Patricia Bates as an opportunity to discuss LAFCO – a little-known independent regulatory commission that holds supreme power over issues related to cityhood. Because that discussion was so important, we [...] http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/2347 Yesterday, we kicked off a discussion about local governance, i.e., cityhood, and mentioned the Ladera Ranch Civic Council’s recent meetings and discussions with Supervisor Patricia Bates. Let’s continue our discussion be starting an analysis of the Civic Council’s letter and using that as a tool for discussing LAFCO. As a reminder, the full text of [...] http://www.ranchoortega.com/blog/archives/2274 We found this great video on the history of the land on which Camp Pendleton sits, including the southern half of the historic Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores. (The northern half, of course, consists of Rancho Mission Viejo and the Ranch neighborhoods of Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Las Flores, Ladera Ranch and now [...] |
