Emails to City Council - Zoning Code Update 2016 <br />through June 24, 2016 <br />Art & Julie Brandt Collier Drive julieaqbrandt@gmail.com Strongly oppose zoning changes. Infrastructure cannot support these changes.X X <br />Lewis & Lorelei Pollack 680 Lee Ave.goodlife4lewlori@aol.com Area is already congested.X X <br />Bill Chow 551 Glen Drive billchow49@gmail.com The proposed B/E property's height is not appropriate. No apartments.X <br />Dolores Stephan 801 Estudillo richanddede@earthlink.net Do not need a large building on that corner. Traffic is already more than the streets can handle & if it increases, it will be a hazard to our children. One or 2-story condos are more appropriate.X <br />Melisa Di Tano 890 Collier mditano@sbcglobal.net Does not believe our infrastructure can handle a 51-unit complex. Any future buildings <br />there should follow current zoning code.X <br />Christine Gordon 902 Bridge Rd.goddess0949@comcast.net <br />Oppose zoning changes because of traffic, parking & negative impact it would have on walkability of area. No 50' buildings. Highrises should only be built in residential areas if they're blighted. People are leaving SF because they can't affor "market rate" apartments & those who stay cram 4-6 people in 2-bedroom apartments. The same <br />thing will happen here with those rates and then they'll have 4-6 cars per unit, instead <br />of 1.5 as proposed. <br />X X <br />Donna Chang District 5 donna726@gmail.com <br />Believes that a CN zoning will be more appropriate for the B/E neighborhood, height- <br />wise, and parking-wise. This will be the best compromise in creating higher <br />density/creating value to the neighborhood (more shops residents can shop in, <br />creating more street life/ still preserving the character of the neighborhood). With a <br />CN zoning, that block has the potential to become a successful community <br />commercial neighborhood area. I would love to bring my acupuncture business to SL, but there is almost no ground floor retail space for lease near downtown SL at all! Create more ground-level retail space that is suitable for smaller local neighborhood businesses with apartments on top. <br />X X <br />Brenda Ferrell 844 Woodland Avenue brendalferrell@aol.com <br />Opposed to the re-zoning of commercial properties currently zoned for professional offices along Estudillo from the fire station to Bancroft. The North area residential <br />neighborhood is not an extension of downtown. Parking and traffic at B/E is already <br />congested due to the middle school. <br />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 TOD = community driven consensus. Growth is downtown. Staff driven agendas shatter consensus. Don't short circuit process. *Also spoke at Planning Commission <br />meeting. <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 <br />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 neighborhoods. Don't authorize DA-2 & honor transition zones. *Also spoke at Planning Commission meeting. <br />X X
