Guiding Principle #6 Environmental Sustainability Dear Mayor and City Council, Re: August 13, 2024 Study Session for Guiding Principle #6 Environmental Sustainability. During several General Plan Update community sessions and meetings requests were made to include PRIME AGRICULTURAL SOILS as part of Arroyo Grande Guiding Principle #6- Environmental Sustainability. Please consider including this at the August 13, 2024 Study Session, since Prime Agricultural Soils of the Cienega Valley are a valuable "limited environmental resource". We all need food and once paved over prime soils are gone. Please add the following CAPITALIZED WORDS words to Guiding Principle #6 Environmental Sustainability: "Encourage Sustainability Practices in all community sectors including preserving PRIME AGRICULTURE SOILS, energy efficiency, waste reduction, and renewable energy use. Balance resource conservation with economic growth to ensure future community needs." Please include this email with the staff report. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
