Plaza Plan Carries Perils

We strongly oppose the proposed Rancho Camarillo Plaza project. If the planned commercial center fills with businesses, the negative impact on our adjacent residential areas from added traffic, air pollution, increased noise level, increased water consumption and sewage disposal would be great. The impression from the freeway would be one of tawdry commercialism. We left Los Angeles County to get away from just that.

If the center is slow to fill with renters, which is likely in the present market, the image of Camarillo would be one of a depressed economic area.

The construction of such a center would mean the loss of valuable, rich, productive farmland. We would also lose the beautiful, “gateway” image of a peaceful residential community surrounded by a perpetual greenbelt. That impression is the reason we chose Camarillo as a pleasant place in which to live.
