Honorable Chair and Fellow Commissioners -
What I did not mention in my previous letter to you regarding 1121 Montalban is that staff has barred you from
commenting on that portion of the project that contains the 15 housing units - the units that are receiving a 97%
density bonus in exchange for providing two deed restricted housing units. These housing units, like 71
Palomar, 22 Chorro and 790 Foothill, have the bogus "one bedroom" units with double doors and demising
walls running down the middle (i.e., these are NOT one-bedroom units but two-bedroom units). As with the
other three projects mentioned, the City is allowing the applicant to provide 19 parking spaces (and this based
on the new city-wide parking reductions included in the Zoning Reg Update) when twice that number will be
required once these demising walls are made permanent. This shortfall of on-site parking will end up on the
city’s streets. Staff is imposing on you a virtual "gag order" suggesting that any comments you may make on
this portion of the project, and more specifically on these bogus "one bedroom" units, is outside your purview.
Please do not allow this to happen.
