Public Comments Letters to Planning Commission <br />Regarding Zoning Code Update 2016 <br />June 16, 2016 <br />NAME HOME ADDRESS EMAIL CONCERNS Estudillo <br />Ave <br />1300-1380 <br />Bancroft <br />Marina <br />East IT Support <br />Gaye Quinn Westlake Urban <br />Please look at EVERY opportunity to increase housing supply, especially within a mile of BART. Housing sites that are one acre or more in size are scarce & are <br />critical to the supply of multi-family housing. Housing is critical to attracting businesses & new employers/employees to the Tech Campus. (Letter) <br />X <br />Steve Song FH Dailey Chevrolet steve.song@fhdailey.com By changing North of Marina Blvd. to IT, it will have devastating consequences to the automobile industry in San Leandro. We need the ability to expand & not compete with residential development for the property. (Letter)X <br />Jaime Santos 820 Harlan St.jaime.santos_esq@yahoo.com <br />Concerned about compliance with proposed zoning changes. Commercial <br />businesses have no vested interest. Obstacles are code compliance with existing & <br />future zoning, especially having enough resources. For example there are lots used as a dumping ground & complaints are either not recognized or acted upon. Very <br />slow follow-up if any. <br />X <br />Peggy Martin 923 Bancroft Ave.peggymarti@aol.com <br />B/E should be mixed use & less dense. People walk & drive with earphones, which <br />concerns me about safety of students due to increased traffic. Crosswalks need to be redone.X <br />Philip Daly 957 Bridge Rd.pg.daly@sbcglobal.net Concerned with DA-2 zoning. Concerned with resulting traffic & parking. Upset because he feels the decision is a "done deal" and it is without public approval. The City knew this project was being planned when they decided to rezone.X X <br />Aaron Brown 958 Bridge Rd.alb94103@hotmail.com Concerned with resulting traffic & parking with DA-2 zoning & is upset because he feels the City is rezoning to accommodate the project on B/E.X X <br />Jeanne Kinkella 837 Joaquin Ave.jeannekinkella@gmail.com Opposed to B/E rezoning. This area is not downtown & it's a long way from BART. X <br />Maureen Forney 941 Bridge Rd.mforney2870@outlook.com Objects DA-2 rezoning at B/E because of noise and traffic, especially near Bancroft Middle School. Urbanizing the school environment will cause congestion. Estudillo <br />should not be a complete street. Hopscotch approach.X <br />Lola Sander 678 Joaquin lolalvn@comcast.net There's a two-hour parking limit due to a child's death. This is a neighborhood, not downtown. Doesn't want gentrification like downtown Oakland.X X <br />Mia Ousley 738 Victoria Ave.Significant zoning changes in Downtown East will remove buffer. Local residents wil lose leverage if rezoning occurs & it doesn't align with TOD. Outside boundary.X <br />Dori Gutman 971 Bridge Rd.dori.gutman@gmail.com Same concerns as prior speaker. Likes a walkable downtown. An Indiana study <br />found that high density brings violent crime to area. Wrong vision. X <br />Alex Dolan 949 Begier Ave.ad@alexdolan.com Echoes same concerns. Increasing density does not always lead to prosperity. 750 <br />sq. ft. apartments do not preserve quality of life.X X <br />John Carlson 721 Joaquin Ave.johncarlson72@yahoo.com Not good planning. Developer driven. Not livable. Keep existing zoning.X X <br />Margaret Carlson 721 Joaquin Ave.Reiterates same concerns as husband above. San Leandro needs to look at the past. High density is not quality living. Use low water vegetation for street frontages, <br />instead of eliminating them. X X <br />Stephen Cassidy*Joaquin Ave.stephenhcassidy@gmail.com <br />High density needs to be kept in true "downtown" area, which Estudillo and Bancroft are not. New housing should be kept in the TOD area of BART. 2002 GP & 2007 <br />TOD = community driven consensus. Growth is downtown. Staff driven agendas shatter consensus. Don't short circuit process. *Also sent email to City Council. <br />X X <br />Susan "Rose" Riskind*Sunnyside via thebna@listbox.com <br />Dutton/Bancroft is not "downtown". Parking and traffic impacts. This zoning is not <br />meant for areas with small residential homes. Thinks it's "ironic" that staff recommends these transitions and then proposes the B/E project that is higher than Wells Fargo. Such a large building will create a "walled effect" and divide <br />neighborhoods. Don't authorize DA-2 & honor transition zones. *Also sent email to City Council. <br />X X <br />Karen Diaz 655 Broadmoor karendiazcpa@yahoo.com <br />Keep SL fiber optic loop. Grew up where apartments could come in roughshod and <br />results were not good. Need to keep the system of checks and balances in place. Less dense areas should be in residential. Oppose changes.X X <br />Darlene Evans 361 Bristol Blvd.You have five streets that are always congested. This is not the place for big <br />buildings.X
