Concerned about drought in the region, the winemakers of Valle de Guadalupe are aiming to stop the construction of real estate in the area by updating a new urban development regulation.
Currently, Valle de Guadalupe has more than 40 hotels, villas and cabins where tourists stay, and while locals try to conserve water, its landscape and agriculture, real estate agents intend to split up land to sell.
Due to a lack of a regulation to these actions, residents in the El Porvenir community of the valley will be asked their input and opinions about if or when to modify the old urban development program they have in the area.
"It is an area urban development program that was published in October 2010, and since then it has a legal character and is valid even if it has not complied with its regulations a 100%," said the president of the Baja California Winemakers Association, Alvaro Putnick.
By updating the law, they seek to regulate and control the urban tourist development with the purpose of maintaining the sustainability of the valley.
