A few items need to be clarified before the next meeting to insure that when we speak, we are stating true facts, not suppositions, invalid rumors or here say:
1) The extension of Camino Ruiz across Los Penasquitos Canyon is NOT shown on either the Mira Mesa Community Plan or the Rancho Penasquitos Community Plan. Please do not testify that there is a map that shows the extension across the canyon. The extension was removed jointly by both communities from both community plans many years ago in order to protect the unique habitat of Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve.
Should Park Village be placed within the proposed District 6, the "checks and balance" system of having two separate Council Districts protecting the canyon could possibly be compromised should those in Mira Mesa ever try to resurrect the extension of Camino Ruiz to more easily gain access to SR-56. However, the canyon is a designated "preserve" and the opposition from the environmental community, combined with the astronomical construction costs of building a suspension bridge, and objections of the residential communities to the north, it would be a very difficult undertaking, if not impossible.
2) This proposed redistricting will NOT affect which school district you will be a part of. The residents of Park Village will ALWAYS be a part of the Poway Unified School District (PUSD). Your children, as long as you live in PV/Penasquitos and all communities currently served by the PUSD, will always attend PUSD schools.
3) Housing values will likely not drop because we are a unique, family/highly educated based neighborhood and will stay so. Our bonds and association with PQ/Torrey Highlands/Black Mountain Ranch will not change. An imaginary line around Park Village being drawn solely for the purpose of increasing the number of Pan Asians residents within the proposed District 6 will not affect our property values..we will NOT let it affect our property values. It will not serve our cause to cry falling real estate values. Scripps Ranch and Scripps Miramar Ranch North have always been in the same City Council District with Mira Mesa/Miramar and their home values have not ever declined as a result. This argument will only serve to disjoint the commission from our request.
4) Park Village Neighborhood will remain within the Rancho Penasquitos Community Planning Boundary. We will not be annexed into the Mira Mesa Community Planning Boundary.
Please don't mention these issues at the upcoming meetings as they only distract from our purpose, frustrate the commissioners, and give ammunition to our adversaries to discredit us and our position as being ill informed.
It is also important that we do not speak negatively or derogatively of the communities to our south. To do so only makes us look elitist, which is not who we are at all. The emphasis as to why we do not desire to be conjoined with Kearny Mesa, Mira Mesa, Linda Vista is that we do not share similar or common interests and we are separated by a natural landform of Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. Above all, show how emotional this is to have your community identity divided. Let the commission know how you feel.
