General Plan specifics
When it comes to planning policies, Rancho residents aren't shy about airing their opinions, Sam Gennawey, the city-hired General Plan consultant, told me.
The Planning Department is gathering input on how the city should be developed in the next 10 years as it conducts its General Plan update. Gennawey said one Rancho lover is so enamored by the city that he wants a cemetery built so he can be buried here. Talk about devotion.
More than 700 people who live, work and play in the city filled out a "visioneering" card last year and identified key issues facing the city. The results of the poll can be found here:

The majority responses are typical. For instance, 162 people thought traffic was one of the two most important issues facing the city. Ninety people were most pessimistic about overcrowding.
The minority opinion is much more interesting. When asked to complete the sentence "When I think about Rancho's future, I am most optimistic about ...," five Debbie Downers said, "not optimistic." Maybe that crowd should hang out with the 17 who said nothing was unique about where they lived.
Also noteworthy: There were two people who thought the septic system made the place where they live unique. And when asked to finish the statement, "When I think about Rancho's future, I am most pessimistic about ...," one person said, "too much diversity."
