Subject: 4-5-16 City Council Agenda Item 8: Madonna Specific Plan
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
Please ask that the scope of the Specific Plan address and design twice as much multi -family housing as proposed, to be
located partly within the single family detached area, within the open space in the middle of the proposed multi -family
area, and an enlargement of that area. The density of the multi -family area should address that of the De Tolosa Ranch
multi -family buildings. It is clear that the City needs affordable housing, and this vacant land is one of only a few
greenfields of opportunity for our greatest need (besides a smaller commercial footprint within the general plan).
- - Also, I ask that the specific plan design a more compact relationship between the commercial area and the residential
areas, even to the exclusion of a street, to create a true walkable neighborhood.
- - Any species or habitat concerns should be addressed by modifying other open space areas within this large property.
Thank you for considering.
Sincerely,
James Lopes
