COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The magnitude of this proposed project on this beautiful "historic" site
does not do anything to retain a residential environment. In addition, due
to the higher elevation of this property, these unsightly buildings would
loom over the neighborhood, and per prior experience --all noise is
amplified and echoes throughout the neighborhood.
Also, the projected loss of all or most of the mature trees --and the
screen they provide --would leave an inadequate buffer for the residents of
this neighborhood.
I reside at 82 Palomar Ave, which is directly in front of where Luneta
intersects with Palomar, so an additional concern is the opening/widening
of Luneta--which I understand would be required for this project.
The current parking problems and excessive amount of traffic on Palomar --
much of which is generated by the Valencia student housing --is already
hazardous_to_&tide-nts, seniors, and residents of this neighborhood. The
widening/opening-of Luneta would only exacerbate this extensive problem.
In addition, where Luneta intersects Palomar is a "blind corner" in both
directions, and currently it's dangerous enough with bicyclists and
skateboarders "flying" down the hill towards Palomar--so the addition of
car traffic on lower Luneta could be disastrous.
The increased traffic in the immediate area is not only detrimental to a
residential environment, but would also increase traffic leaving the area
by way of�serrano--of which a portion functions as only one lane.
Despite the seemingly antiquated zoning regulations which may allow this
proj.ect,:the conte t and sco a of this project is not conducive to this
current residentiaq neighborhood. Also it would only add to an already
massive problem of too much traffic and limited street parking.
All agencies need to assess all aspects of this proposed project and
consider the negative impact it would have on our community.
Thank you for your consideration of these concerns, Jody Vollmer (82
Palomar Ave)
