Promoting a Reasonable and Balanced Approach to Quality Land Planning

Support the proposed "green" energy plant near Luck Stone!

This project produces needed electricity for us with minimal impact on the environment. It should be a welcome increase to our small industrial base.

The few opponents, such as the Piedmont Environmental Council and Gregory Prelewiz (as reported in "Leesburg Today," December 25, 2009), in our opinion, desire a fantasy world in which people have no impact whatsoever on the environment. On the other hand, analysis by Citizens for Property Rights incorporates a balanced, realistic view of private property uses and their externalities.

If you examine the entire zoning map of Loudoun County, you will note that most of the county is off limits to intensive development, estates being the dominant form of actual land use. The complaint, therefore, that solar panels on ~50 acres must not be allowed to reduce "open space" or that the "Transition Policy Area" is sacrosanct is a vapid argument by opponents. The land use plan should not be that rigid.

CPR hopes that after official weighing of the project's pros and cons, it will be approved with alacrity so that the cost of building the project will not become prohibitive.

CPR President, Jack Shockey, and CPR Director, Patricia Shockey, travel great distances to investigate setting up international CPR chapters. Loudoun County is not the only place where citizens must defend their property rights.

Citizens for Property Rights is a grass roots organization that is a broad-based coalition of Loudoun County citizens, farmers, homeowners, property owners, local businessmen, lenders, professionals, retired people and merchants. It is comprised of Democrats, Republicans and Independents from both Western and Eastern Loudoun. (We are one County.)

Citizens for Property Rights believes the previous Loudoun County Board of Supervisors denied property and development rights under its proposed growth initiatives.

Purchasing property rights, rezoning, and easements are the County's proposed tools- all of which will reduce property values.

These measures directly violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

Citizens for Property Rights will promote reasonable, balanced and quality land planning and use regulations that are fair and equitable to all property owners. Citizens for Property Rights will oppose any downzoning.

Citizens for property Rights will promote educational and informational programs about land-use options and alternatives and their effect on the public.

It will participate in the County process to help assure that all citizens' property rights are upheld.
