The purpose of this blog is to discuss issues that affect the City of Oakley and Eastern Contra Costa County. I will also take the time to make numerous announcements as a way of ensuring that people are aware of what’s happening in our community. I encourage everyone to participate. Comments are appreciated and needed. If there are issues that I have not presented feel free to offer them. However, keep the language polite and do not get personal.

The “high density” issue is inextricably tied to the City’s General Plan and Zoning regulations. I have posted a number of articles on the General Plan and zoning, these can be easily accessed via the ‘City Info” category. There is a process that is steeped in California law that the City must follow in regards to land use regulations. If, after reading these posts you have additional questions I would be happy to answer them.

Kevin,
I was referred to your blog by a friend who thought this might be a really good place for Oakley-ites to keep up on local matters, but I am surprised you don’t have any entries for current issues like the battle against ‘high density’ housing development in our city. Perhaps you are not aware of this major issue???

Thank you for your compliments and I’m glad to have you as a reader. I’ve added a link your website. I started because there is such a lack of information about what goes on in our community and I sense that you share the same frustrations. There also seems to be number of misconceptions each community in East County has of the other. We all, especially in far East County, suffer from the same issues, transportation, local jobs, growth and many more. Anything I can do to help let me know

I am amazed at the amount of information you have. It is very enlightening and well presented. I am on a quest to develop a more harmonious relationship between Oakley and Bethel Island, after all we really have a lot issues that relate to the both of us. I have the web page http://www.bethelislandnews.com Which is the only real information center other than the Post Office on what is happening on Bethel Island.
I would like to link on your site as well I would like to link your site to mine.
We both could enhance each other.
Thank You

Hi Kevin. Welcome to the discussion. Thanks for the link.
I have added your site to my local blogs posts section. Whenever you post, the plugin (LinkedLists) will list that post at Halfway To Concord until it scrolls off the top 6 posts. Good luck with you site. Let me know if you you ever need any WP help. bgr
