o make numerous amendments to the Foothill Trabuco Specific Plan as well as the County General Plan in order for the development to be accepted. The canyon communities and other Orange County residents have joined hands together in an effort to "Save Santiago Canyon".
Proposed amendments will:
1. transform the rural character of the area and allow for cluster urban sprawl
2. destroy 151 oak trees on the property and change the tree mitigation policy
3. change the requirement for open space dedication (will no longer have to be "natural" open space)
4. allow for a more lenient county traffic analysis that will endanger users
