RE: Downtown Expenditures Needed in Financial Plan
Dear Mayor Marx and Council Members:
Please ask staff to implement the following suggestions in downtown:
1. Revise the design guidelines to be mandatory, not optional, and to include detailed urban design guidance.
2. Include restrictions on the number of alcohol outlets on each block face, with use permit limitations on noise
exposure.
3. Prepare a Street Tree Plan with detailed locations for canopy types of trees.
4. Prepare a Creek Landscaping Plan within Mission Plaza, to estimate and then fund a native plant installation.
These points were delivered to you from Save Our Downtown. I support their inclusion in this financial plan and budget.
I also ask that you have staff fund and work with the Wineman Hotel to install noise - attenuating windows, which were
excluded when the current units were built. Windows are now made which look historic and can replace the antiquated
ones still in place, and they would alleviate some of the noise impacts on current residents from downtown events and
alcohol outlets.
Sincerely,
James Lopes
