Hoskings Ranch Gets B.O.S. Approval Ground Breaking Set For 2026
www.JulianNews.com
by Michael Hart
It's been more years that most can remember since the original Hoskings Ranch development was proposed and brought to the Julian Community Planning Group. On Wednesday the project was finally heard at the County Board of Supervisors meeting. The project which has been reworked and redesigned numerous times over the years to develop over 1400 acres of what is currently open space. It will be ten years before ground will be broken to place houses on
any of the 24 lots to be created. This final agreement between the developer, Genessee Properties Inc. and the County will limit the size of lots to no less than 40 acres and designate 85% of the development as open space (see map above). The project which has been challenged since December by a small group of local residents who challenged the validity of the Julian Planning Groups approval then moved onto the County Planning Commission where it was approved 7-0.
Music On The Mountain
Tuesday Get It Going With MoJo Jackson
On Tuesday November 1 at 6 PM, the Julian Branch Library is pleased to be presenting the trio Mojo Jackson. Take three unique and distinctive singer songwriters have created a recipe for Mojo Jackson. TJ Moss, Jonathan Walsh, & Jackson Price have teamed up to bring you a fresh new spin on Pop & Soul. You will enjoy the fresh music with a positive spin on life. These three young men are the perfect performers with their infectious smiles, musical perfection and wonderful entertainment value. They were specifically selected for the November’s Music on the Mountain, as we want you all to sit back, relax and enjoy the show. Mojo Jackson stands for smooth grooves, hummable tunes, insightful lyrics and sweet, sweet harmony! All the while, they bring an easy atmosphere to wherever they play. They share guitars, drums, and microphones showing the audience what fun they have when they perform together. TJ Moss and Jonathan Walsh have previously performed in Julian as part of The Yes Team. There has been a band member and name change and this group was selected to improve your mood and make for a happy evening. Between the three of them , they have many CD’s, solos and groups. The talented Jackson Price played every instrument and provided all of the vocals for most of the tracks on his most recent solo album. Moss and Walsh moved to California in 2008 after meeting and performing together in New York City for a season or two. Moss graduated from college in Oklahoma and Walsh from Virginia with degrees in Music. Destined for a warmer climate, the friends grew roots in San Diego. In 2011 they achieved their goal of becoming full-time, self- supporting musicians. A new friendship with Jackson Price, who has been performing on the road since he was 14 and is a San Diego favorite, was a turning point for the Yes Team when he gave up his spot in a line-up to allow his new friends to perform. Each tune brings you closer to the heart of what makes each of these three humans so remarkably human. They can be seen at Street fairs, farmers markets, clubs and churches, spreading the joy of the music they have written and recorded. We hope you will join us on Tuesday, November 1st at 6 PM for a delightful Music on the Mountain with the group Mojo Jackson. The Julian branch Library is located at 1850 Highway 78. For more information please call, 760-765-0370. The music and refreshments are free for all attendees.
1985
This was their final chance to stop the project from moving forward and presented a number of arguments, including water issues, non compliance with the Williamson Act (which restricts the land owner to agricultural uses). After the staff presentation and a short presentation by representatives for the project, Eric Larson from the County Farm Bureau took the podium stating emphatically that the Farm Bureau was taking no position on the project. The bureau’s concern was that the Board Of Supervisors and planning staff was using a “back door remedy to circumvent the Williamson Act“ thereby setting a bad president. Speaking in opposition where: George Courser of the Sierra Club; Julian residents: Lynn Jarman, Sally Snipes, Teak Nichols, Kiki Skagen-Munshi. Cindy Buxton formerly with the Sierra Club and Jack Shu of the Cleveland National Forest Foundation. Supervisor Chair Ron Roberts then began the discussion by question staff on clarification of the Williamson Act and some of the environmental/habitat concerns speakers had raised. He also reviewed the zoning of the property in the General Plan, which it was designated “residential.” And questioned staff about the options, could the County buy the property? At which point he concluded it was not likely. He then proclaimed that he understood the concerns of residents but felt that “Something was going to happen to this property, today or down the road, and it just doesn’t get any better than this.” Supervisor Jacob was then called on by the chair and also approved the plan with the declaration stipulating a ten year waiting period for actual home development, the continuation of agricultural use and 85% open space. She made the motion to approve that was seconded by Supervisor Cox. She also stated that the plan as proposed would meet the County’s vision for small agriculture in the back country and could prove to be a model for future development. “It would be hard to envision something turning out better than this.” Supervisors Horn and Cox both added their approval for the plan. Supervisor Dave Roberts had nothing to ad. Chairman Roberts called for a vote and it was approved 5 - 0. The development will now have to go through all the permitting for any action to be taken on the property, first step will be grading and site improvements. The first home will not appear until 2026.
