The Irvine City Council recently passed a legally binding resolution to affirm the General Plan and existing zoning for the Rancho San Joaquin golf course in order to protect the golf course property from development

​However, as with any designated open space amenity in Irvine, we as a community must remain vigilant and informed about land use issues in our city.  And we must continue to elect and support city officials who will honor and uphold Irvine's General Plan and designated open spaces.

And the best way to do this is to stay informed!  Here are some easy ways to do this:

Sign Up For Our RSJ Golf Coalition Email List

Stay informed on any news or updates regarding the RSJ golf course by signing up on our email list.  Our coalition will continue to monitor the status of the RSJ golf course property and alert our community on any changes in ownership, golf course operations or other updates concerning the RSJ golf course.

Sign Up For Email Updates From the City of Irvine

Keep informed on agenda items that will be discussed at upcoming City Council meetings as well as City of Irvine General Plan updates, announcements, press releases, and other topics.

Attend a City Council or Planning Commission Meeting

Any deliberation or decision to amend the City's General Plan and zoning for the RSJ golf course takes place at the Irvine Planning Commission meetings, and usually the City Council meetings.

Learn more on what usually takes place at these meetings by attending and/or speaking at a City Council  meeting or Planning Commission meeting.  Both meetings are open to the public and are held at Irvine City Hall, 1 Civic Center Plaza.  View map location

The City Council meetings start at 4pm and are usually held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month.  The Planning Commission meetings also start at 4pm and are usually held on the first and third Thursday of each month.  View the City of Irvine calendar to see when the upcoming meetings will be held.
