Subject:ARC communication re 790 Foothill
Dear Architectural Review Committee members,
We have several concerns with the proposed project at 790 Foothill Blvd.
Traffic at the Foothill‐Chorro intersection is already problematic. This project combined with 22 Chorro will certainly
increase the danger to pedestrians and bicyclists. These streets were not designed for such an increase in density.
Traffic in the surrounding neighborhoods will certainly increase, affecting the safety of pedestrians. At present, it is a
very walkable neighborhood.
The misrepresentation by the developer to provide affordable, work force housing at 22 Chorro which then becomes
luxury student housing is extremely disturbing.
Loss of view sheds with the height variance is more than unfortunate.
We request that you postpone this project until the effects of 22 Chorro can be monitored.
Also absolutely reject the 43 foot height and the 90% lot coverage. Adhere to the standards that are in place.
Respect our citizens and neighborhoods.
Sincerely,
Ted and Roberta Foster
Meinecke Street
