• Allow orderly, planned, and controlled development while preserving our rural way of life and small town atmosphere·

• Preserve scenic views of open space, greenbelts, and oak woodlands, especially along highway corridors and surrounding New Hogan reservoir campgrounds and recreation areas. Valley Springs is a major "gateway" to Calaveras County and should showcase the natural beauty of the area for residents and visitors
