El Dorado Hills
Top General Issues


Issue Summary Recommendations, questions, and notes
Community vision, values, and goals We think County decision making and the General Plan are based on a somewhat different vision and values than that of most EDH citizens. EDH needs additional focus on our citizens' vision, values, and goals.
Increase public outreach. A good existing example is the County of Maui's 2003 Focus Maui Nui project. Apply results to all County government processes and to revision of the General Plan.
Locally focused planning
El Dorado Hills is large enough to need a higher level of locally-focused planning.
Add an El Dorado Hills Community section to the General Plan. This needs to be very substantially comprehensive and detailed.
Locally focused government Translating community vision to community policy requires community presence. In some cases the size of EDH will increasingly require locally based services. Consider strengthening representation of EDH in bodies making or implementing policy for EDH.

Provide additional services through facilities located in EDH.
