2017 04 04 City Council Agenda #16 71 Palomar
I would like to submit my disapproval of actions taken by the ARC in support of the student housing
development at 71 Palomar. I have read the letter by Richard Schmidt and hope that this council will
recognize and rectify the deficiencies in previous actions.
I will address my "common sense- reasons for opposing this development.
GLOSS of trees and avian habitat.
*LOSS of buffer between high density and R-1 housing.
*Further encroachment of high density housing with inadequate parking into established neighborhoods.
*Disregard for significant increase in traffic in an already heavily impacted neighborhood
*Disregard of historical status.
0Wrong project in this location
In an effort to build -affordable workforce housing- it seems that past councils have approved any
building no matter the location, density, lack of adequate parking and lack of adherence to Community
Guidelines by granting of exceptions whenever requested by the developer.
I understand that we need workforce housing at a reasonable price but I would like to see TRUE workforce
housing built, not student housing complexes masquerading as affordable workforce housing.
Sincerely,
Linda White
