Bear Brand Ranch Developers in For A Debate

The Orange County Register reported the grading project in the O'Hill Ridge neighborhood of Bear Brand Ranch. Bear Brand Ranch, in Laguna Niguel has found itself in the middle of a common theme of controversy with South Orange County real estate. The debate centers on the notion that residents who already live in their neighborhood should be entitled to the views and neighborhood conditions that "run with the land" and that those are actual property rights.

This also started a controversy in Shorecliffs district of San Clemente, where it pitted neighbor against neighbor in a very unfortunate set of circumstances. In this case, it is a little different, because it is not about people improving their existing homes. In Bear Brand Ranch, it's about new development.

Just as an overview, Bear Brand Ranch is located on the right off of Camino Del Avion and Golden Lantern. This is where Camino Del Avion forms the border of Laguna Niguel and Dana Point. This project is on the ridge of the Capistrano Valley, near where Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, and San Juan Capistrano all come together.

The question is, since the city of Laguna Niguel planning commission has yet to approve the plan, is that the end of the debate? This seems like a challenge, because I'm sure that developers constantly have to deal with some sort of opposition. On the other hand, will the quality of life for the surrounding residents of Peppertree Bend be affected? That remains to be seen.
