Success in Neighboring Towns

Despite the State housing mandate, we DO NOT need to accept unrestrained development in our Town as an inevitability. In 2024, Contra Costa Superior Court ruled in favor of the Orindans for Safe Emergency Evacuation (OSEE), requiring the Town of Orinda to decertify its Plan Orinda Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for failing to adequately address wildfire evacuation and emergency response. Orinda must now revise its EIR and Housing Element.
