Subject: 22 Chorro Appeal - item 20 on October 18 agenda
To: "E-mail Council Website" <emailcouncilAslocity.org>
Dear Mayor Marx and Council Members,
I support the comments of Richard Schmidt concerning the design and
allowances given to the 22 Chorro Street project. This corner is not
the location to cram a badly designed project, without pedestrian
continuity along the sidewalk, in order to get some more student housing
and a few low-income units.
I object to the placement of the appeal at the end of a very long agenda
- item 20 - which is tantamount to favoritism to the developer. The
public, especially the affected neighborhood, is not served at all by
requiring their attendance well into an evening, when a later date and
earlier time would be possible.
Lastly, I object to the staff contradicting the Planning Commission's
denial of the project, instead making a recommendation for approval.
This is again a sign of favoritism to the developer. Staff would better
serve the community doing a strategic plan for creating better, viable
housing areas for modest increases in density.
Thank you for considering my comments.
James Lopes
