The vote to finalize a decision that would block a planned quarry near Temecula might be postponed.
More time is needed to draft the documentation needed for the vote, according to a report for the Riverside County Planning Commission.
"(Planning Department staff members) recommend additional time be granted to further draft project denial findings," the report reads.

As a homeowner in Temecula, I'm happy they didn't build it. I wouldn't want anything to take away from my property value.

Sounds more like the Washington Congress. Take the vote, then vote to write it up, then vote for cloture, then send it to the Supervisors to see how much obstruction they can come up with. I don't think it took this long to write the constitition.
