Dear Governor Brown:

RE: Tejon Ranch

We are writing to urge you to consider a state-sponsored joint planning mechanism to facilitate the completion of a comprehensive master plan of the entire Tejon Ranch to ensure protection of globally rare biological resources, air and water quality, and national security interests.

The 270,000-acre Tejon Ranch represents an irreplaceable piece of California whose future deserves careful planning. Poorly planned development of the Ranch poses a significant threat to clean air and water and the quality of life in the Kern County - Los Angeles region. Globally important biological resources on the Ranch, combined with its importance as an unpopulated area ideal for U.S. Military fly-over operations, warrant comprehensive planning for the entire Ranch rather than piecemeal conservation and development of isolated portions of the Ranch.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue.
