Please Attend the Cayucos Community Workshop and Make a
Difference.
Below you will find our synthesis of the agreement. It is drawn from
http://www.hearstranchconservation.org .
Please visit the website for more details.
West of Highway 1 – These conditions will last forever!
No development (buildings, golf courses, visitor’s centers, etc.) will ever be
built on the 18 miles of coast from Ragged Point to San Simeon Creek, except,
An inn complex of no more than 100 rooms may be built in the existing Old San
Simeon Village.
The public will have access to all 18 miles of coast. This allows for an 18 mile
section of California Coastal Trail.
The State will gain ownership of approximately 15 miles (1,500 acres) the
Hearsts will share ownership (with a government agency) of about 3 miles (700
acres) of coast.
East of Highway 1 – These conditions will last forever!
The Ranch will continue to be a working cattle ranch.
The land east and in view of Highway 1 will remain undeveloped.
The Hearsts will be allowed to develop 27 environmentally appropriate home sites
out of view of the Hearst Castle and Highway 1 (down from the currently allowed
400+).
The natural resources (wildlife, botanical, cultural, water, etc.) of the Ranch
will continue being protected and monitored.
The development rights being reduced and extinguished are assessed at over $200
million. The Hearsts will receive less than $100 million in payment and donate
the balance.

NEW 7-11-04 - Here is a revised agenda
HEARST RANCH CONSERVATION PROJECT
Attend the Community Workshop
Cayucos Veteran’s Building
Thursday, July 15, 2004 6:30p.m.
Doors Open 5:30 p.m.
BBQ 4:30 – 6:00 /Native Sons’ Fundraiser
Protect 82,000 acres of our north coast and over 18 miles of undeveloped coastline. The State and the Hearst family have reached a tentative agreement that will eliminate the possibility of significant development, allow more public access to the coast, and protect the natural resources of the Ranch. But it is NOT a done deal.
It is imperative that the State know that we support this project!
