Controversy: OHV use in Riverside County
We received the following note from Ann McGrath:
OFF ROAD VEHICLE USE/RIVERSIDE COUNTY
There is a movement underway in Riverside County to change your right to ride and limit your use of your motorcycle on your own property. This is quietly being pushed by a group of horse enthusiasts in Aguonga.

I'd like you to immediately involve your web sites and publications to make the motorcycle riding public aware that your rights are being usurped.

THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING AT THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLANNING OFFICE, GROUND FLOOR, ON OCTOBER 20, 2004.

PLEASE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO E-MAIL OR ATTEND THIS MEETING. A link is provided: mbalys@rctlma.org

This is the email to the planner, Mark Balys, Deputy Planning Director, working on this project, which is being recommended for approval by the County.

*****SAMPLE COMMENT*****

Dear Riverside County Planning Commission:

My name is <<<INSERT YOUR NAME AND ORGANIZATION>>>.

I am writing to state my opposition to this proposed AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 348 - Land Use Ordinance of Riverside County.  The proposed ordinance amendment proposes to add Article XIXf that provides development and siting standards for off highway vehicle usage within the unincorporated areas of Riverside County.

Off highway vehicle recreation is the fastest growing sport in the region, passing golf and tennis, that so many planners spend millions on to develop.

Riverside County has provided no OHV riding opportunity for its residents.  Yet, the County is embarking on an effort to deny its residents the opportunity to use their private property for OHV riding.  The proposed amendment assigns overly restrictive criteria to the use of private property.

Please keep me informed on any issues dealing with OHV in Riverside County.

Please enter this on your record as "OPPOSED to the proposed Amendment" at the October 20, 2004 meeting.

<<<Sign with your name, address and telephone number>>>
