The public review and comment period for the Notice of Preparation (NOP) ended on Friday, January 29, 2021. The county received 16 letters responding to the NOP of Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for Legacy at Coto California Grand Villages. Some very interesting responses came from (see actual responses at SaveCoto.com):

Attorneys representing

Coto de Caza Community Association (“CCCA”)

Los Ranchos Estates Home Owners Association (“LRE HOA”)

CZ Master Association (“CZ Master”)

Department of Fish and Wildlife

City of Rancho Santa Margarita

South Coast Air Quality Management District

Rancho Santa Margarita Water District

California Cultural Resource Preservation Alliance

Native American Heritage Commission

Coto de Caza and Dove Canyon residents

Mrs. Dawson

Mr. Shoji

The next phase is the creation of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). When it is made available to the public, we will all get another opportunity to comment on whether the county did an adequate job of identifying and analyzing all of the significant environmental impacts, feasible mitigation measures, and reasonable project alternatives associated with the Legacy project.

Please remember to report any suspected Legacy activity to [email protected]. If you are able to send photos showing the activity and companies performing it that would be VERY helpful. We need your eyes as well as your voice.

It appears that Legacy has begun a new traffic study today located at Via Conejo and Via Pato.

This device went up on or before November 19th only a couple days after Orange County went into the Covid-19 Purple tier which changed school, work and travel to it's most restrictive level. There is no way the data they are collecting will be accurate.
