The proposed rezoning does not add development potential.  Instead, it serves to transfer all development rights of the 410-acre site to just 29 acres and preserves the remaining 381 acres as permanent open space (Revised DEIR, page 1-1). 

9.
Why does the property need to be rezoned?

While the property owner could propose to subdivide the property with all homes spread across the entire 410 acres, it would be inconsistent with the Town’s General Plan.  The Danville General Plan contains several “Special Concern Areas,” which are properties that warrant additional and specific direction related to its potential development.  The Magee Ranch property is one of these Special Concern Areas and the General Plan’s direction for it states that:“[P]roposals which transfer the allowable number of homes to the least sensitive and obtrusive parts of the site are encouraged.”“[S]ubdivision of this Special Concern Area into five-acre ‘ranchette’ sites similar to those in the Tassajara Lane/Sherburne Hills area is strongly discouraged. Such development would require grading and road construction that could substantially diminish the visual qualities of the area. Transferring allowable densities to a limited number of areas within the ranch would enable the bulk of the site to be set aside as permanent open space.”The only way to meet these planning objectives is to rezone the property to allow for the transfer of potential development of the 410-acre site to just 29 acres, preserving the remaining 381 acres as permanent open space. 

10.
How much traffic would the project generate?

The traffic analysis studied the project’s potential impact using a methodology that allows the Town to distinguish between current traffic conditions from the project’s contribution to an existing traffic baseline.   Under law, a project is only required to mitigate its own impacts to the baseline rather than to fix all existing problems.   The analysis concluded that the project would increase the daily traffic volume along the Diablo Road corridor, west of Mt. Diablo Scenic, by 4-percent.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) | Placer County, CA
Reassessment of a property is required any time new construction occurs (Section 71, Revenue and Taxation Code). Thus, new construction, when not considered normal maintenance or repair, is assessable if it adds value to the property. The market value (not necessarily the cost) of the addition or other "new construction" is determined by the assessor and added to the existing property assessment. The value of the existing property is not affected.New construction that adds value to the property represents the incremental value added to the existing property and will generate a supplemental assessment. The previously existing property, however, is not reappraised; its assessed value will not change except for the annual inflation adjustment of up to 2%.It is important to note that the county assessor, by law, is required to value all new construction, even if a building permit has not been issued. However, not every building permit for new construction results in reassessment. In general, the Placer County Assessor’s Office processes thousands of building permits annually, yet less than half result in supplemental assessments.

How does the assessor discover new construction projects?

The county assessor becomes aware of such new construction because copies of all building permits issued by a county or city are required to be sent to the county assessor. Discovery of new construction can also occur in a variety of other ways, such as that reported at the time a property transfers ownership, information volunteered by the public, or personal observation by county assessor's staff performing routine field checks.

What can I do if I disagree with the assessment?

You may request an informal review of the assessment from the Placer County Assessor's Office. If the review does not result in a satisfactory conclusion, you may pursue an assessment appeal.

Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan | Veterans Affairs
You already have a VA-backed home loan, and
You’re using the IRRRL to refinance your existing VA-backed home loan, and
You can certify that you currently live in or used to live in the home covered by the loan

Note: If you have a second mortgage on the home, the holder must agree to make your new VA-backed loan the first mortgage.

 Why might I want to get an IRRRL?
 

 Often called a “streamline” refinance, an IRRRL may help you to: Lower your monthly mortgage payment by getting you a lower interest rate, orMake your monthly payments more stable by moving from a loan with an adjustable or variable interest rate (an interest rate that changes over time) to one that’s fixed (the same interest rate over the life of the loan)On a no-down-payment loan, you can borrow up to the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac conforming loan limit in most areas—and more in some high-cost counties. You can borrow more than this amount if you want to make a down payment. Learn about VA home loan limitsYou’ll want to keep closing costs in mind when refinancing a loan, as they can add up to thousands of dollars. Before you decide to refinance, divide your closing costs by how much you expect to save every month by refinancing to see if it’s worth it. While your lender can advise you on the costs and benefits of the transaction, you’ll want to be sure you understand what you’re getting into. Learn about the VA funding fee and other closing costs Visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for more information Download the Bureau’s home loan toolkit (PDF)

 How do I get an IRRRL?
 

 Find a lender. You’ll go through a private bank, mortgage company, or credit union—not directly through us—to get an IRRRL. Terms and fees may vary, so contact several lenders to check out your options. Note: If you have a VA home loan be careful when considering home loan refinance offers.

 Hiring a home-improvement contractor
 

Hiring a home-improvement contractor
Do your homework!

Dear New Yorkers,

The average consumer now has access to a worldwide marketplace, and competition is fierce. Sometimes, it is hard to know the difference between a bargain and a ripoff. Here are some tips on how you can be a smart consumer.
If you run into problems, our office may be able to help. Our Bureau of Consumer Frauds and Protection offers an informal dispute resolution program for complaints against a merchant or business. In addition, we keep track of the filed complaints and can take action if there is a pattern of consumer fraud.
Remember, if a deal seems too good to be true, it is probably not a good deal.
 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Getting started
Identify the full home-improvement project
Prepare a comprehensive list of all work to be completed. Be specific. Set a reasonable budget for your project. 
Shop around
Interview multiple contractors. Contact at least three contractors and get written estimates for your project. Insist upon specific timelines detailing start and completion dates.
Your home-improvement project 
Never pay the full price up front
Establish a payment schedule and adhere to it. Withhold final payment until the entire project is completed to your satisfaction and all required inspections and certificates 
of occupancy are finalized. 
Get everything in writing
State law requires a contractor to provide a written contract for home improvement to work. The contract should include a timeline for work to be completed, a payment schedule, and specifics about the project — such as types or brands of materials. On larger projects, architect or engineer plans should specify virtually every detail.

2001 Budget Analysis Trial Court Funding (0450)
The task force survey of court facilities identified and catalogued a wide
range of compliance problems associated with the American with Disabilities Act, seismic safety, and other fire and life safety code
issues. Some of these problems relate to retroactive code requirements which include changes required to address urgent and
immediate problems with existing facilities' condition. In general, counties should be responsible for those retroactive code changes
that went into effect when a facility was under county ownership. The state, however, would be responsible for any nonretroactive
code compliance requirements, that is, changes required for any future facility designs or modifications. These future compliance
requirements would need to be addressed as part of the state's capital outlay planning process.
Need to Recognize Some Counties' Efforts to Maintain Facilities and Make Them Code Compliant. The task force
report recommended that counties provide an MOE facility contribution to the state, based on a five-year average of maintenance
and operations costs. The task force, however, recommended elimination of a county's responsibility for deferred maintenance. This
would have the effect of rewarding those counties that have neglected their facilities while penalizing counties that chose to maintain
their facilities. In addition, the task force did not directly address the issue of responsibility for code compliance but merely
recommended that the state have the option of deciding whether or not to accept facilities "deemed unsuitable for court use." If the
state deemed a facility unsuitable, presumably the county would continue to operate the facility but would have no responsibility or
incentive for improving it.
Because of these problems, we recommend that any legislation dealing with state responsibility for facilities require that these costs
be included in each county's respective MOE contribution to the state. Counties that have maintained and improved their facilities
would have a lower MOE, all other things being equal, than counties that have chosen to defer their maintenance. To the extent a
county has not renovated its facilities for code compliance because of demonstrated fiscal constraints, the Legislature may wish to
consider the feasibility of "forgiving" some or all of that cost through a buyout of the county's MOE. This approach would be similar
