Problems with Losing the Golf Course

The City of Mission Viejo is going to lose an icon, which has been in the city since its inception, if a zoning change takes place to approve Sunrise Senior Living’s concept of building assisted living housing at the Casta Del Sol Golf Course. This act will affect the landscape of our community for future generations.

The Casta Del Sol Golf course is frequented by a large group of seniors and by many avid golfers in Mission Viejo. If our city council sells out to developers, seniors and golfers alike will have to drive further to play golf at courses similar in price or they can pay up to $100 more to play at other courses near buy.

The impact would be felt by thousands of households in Mission Viejo who play at Casta Del Sol for its location, good price, and ability to play the course quickly. It is a family friendly environment that many kids have used to learn how to play golf.

Approving the Zoning Change would go against the City of Mission Viejo's Master plan which is something not to be taken lightly. If the city regularly changes zoning every time a developer would like them to, then what is the point of being a master planned community? The property was designed to be a golf course and it should stay that way even if it is municipalized.

The loss of the Casta Del Sol Golf course will also impact school golf teams from the Mission Viejo area. The Casta Del Sol Golf course is currently used by the Mission Viejo High School golf team.

A zoning change hurts the Rotary Club of Mission Viejo which meets at the Club house.

A zoning change hurts the Lions Club of Mission Viejo which meets at the Club house.

A zoning change hurts the Residents surrounding the golf course due to the increased traffic from the assisted living complex and loss of property values.

A zoning change hurts Mission Viejo Residents who have enjoyed a nice view of a green golf course which would be traded for a view of high density senior housing.

A Zoning Change hurts Mission Viejo and is the wrong direction for our city to take. Please sign the petition and tell our city council not approve the zoning change or to allow the voters to vote on the issue.

THIS WEBSITE IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE PETITION TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MISSION VIEJO TO ADVOCATE PERPETUALLY PRESERVING THE CASTA DEL SOL GOLF COURSE AS A TOP QUALITY 18 HOLE EXECUTIVE GOLF COURSE, WITH A CLUBHOUSE AND OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FACILITIES, FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
