Orangevale Cohousing defers Planning Commission bid

Northern California Cohousing Burning Soul Marty Maskall thought she  had an airtight case: 100 supporters showing up at a meeting, 33 speakers enthusiastically supporting her project, including groups hardly known as fans of development: The Sierra Club, a doctor's group, and more. Since a rejection by a local advisory board, she had spent a year conducting an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)

However, the commission chair, who jogs through the neighborhood, sided with local neighbors concerned about density, privacy and traffic.

The group is proceeding forward
