The Hume Christian Camp, 32355 Green Valley Lake Rd, has submitted a project plan (PROJ-2024-00046) to the County Land Use Services (LUS) to expand their occupancy from 300 to 3000. This will have significant impact on Green Valley Lake in terms of our evacuation route down GVL Rd, the capacity of our sewer treatment in Running Springs, and our well water supply, and the traffic at the Hwy. 18 junction, just to name a few. The Public Comment Period goes to 1/7/26. (extended to 1/17/26) To submit your comments on the project you can send a letter to Elena Barragan, County of San Bernardino, Land Use Services-Planning Division, 385 N. Arrowhead Ave. First Floor, San Bernardino, CA 92415-0187, or email elena.barragan@lus.sbcounty.gov. At the very least, we feel that a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should be completed before this project is allowed to go forward.
To access the full project that Hume submitted go to https://lus.sbcounty.gov/planning-home/environmental/mountain. The end of Hume’s project description says “There are no known areas of controversy” so please let the county know that this is incorrect.
Our Mountain Area representative with Supervisor Rowe’s office is Robin Bull. She can be reached at 909-336-1547 or 909-890-8642. Her email is Robin.Bull@bos.sbcounty.gov.
On Saturday December 20th at 9:00am, HUME is having a public meeting about the project at their location in the chapel. Please check back on this site for updates. The manager of the project for Hume is Candyce Burnett. Her email is Candyce.Burnett @kimley-horn.com. They have an office in Riverside, but their headquarters is in Colorado.
