Dear Mayor Marx and City Council Members:
COUNCIL MEETINGAGII il'wtf.
ITEM NO.:. Z O
RECEIVED
OCT 17 2016
SLD CITY CLERK
We are the resident homeowners of 633 Luneta Drive just a few blocks away from the proposed 4 story development at
22 Chorro Street. We are writing to express our strong opposition to the project and to urge you to please uphold the
decision by the Planning Commission to deny the proposed development. The following are just some of the many
concerns that we have with this project:
(1) The proposed planned 4 story development is not compatible with the existing neighborhood homes and buildings.
(2) There are only 33 parking spaces for potentially 96 residents when the neighborhood already has severe parking
issues
(3) The proposed rooftop garden will tower over and invade the privacy of nearby homes and potentially create severe
noise issues for the neighborhood.
(4) The project is inconsistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Design Guidelines.
(5) The project will block protected views.
(6) The proposed density (possibly 96 residents) will negatively impact the neighborhood.
We ask that you please reject the proposed project for these and many other reasons. Thank you for your careful
consideration of this important matter.
Sincerely,
Peter and Diane Crough
