<br /> <br />month? <br />I don't think DA-2 is appropriate zoning for the area down Estudillo to Bancroft and the <br />one property across Bancroft. I do not consider that area "Downtown" nor do I know <br />anyone else who does. Downtown is downtown - not into residential neighborhoods. <br />What is wrong with keeping the "P" zone? Don't neighborhoods need <br />professional/office buildings? If the "P" zone down Estudillo is changed, and one by <br />one buildings are changed to apartments, it will impact many of the citizens of San <br />Leandro who walk to their dentist and doctors. Isn't the objective of the TOD plan to <br />lessen residents' dependence on cars? Where will the displaced professionals relocate? <br />How many new students are anticipated to be a part of this new residential growth? <br />How will their increased numbers impact the crowding in our nearby schools? <br />My knowledge on this matter is primarily a result of participation in a neighborhood <br />meeting. I am a bit perplexed that nothing about the zoning change was brought to <br />the attention of the neighborhoods impacted the most by proposed changes (I have not <br />received any specific notice of this proposed change). Knowing what I do now, I <br />request the zoning to remain as is. I understand the city can change zones on a parcel <br />by parcel basis, while leaving the "P" zone in affect. But if you change to a DA-2 zone, <br />and someone comes with plans to build a five story apartment complex, the city has to <br />approve the plans. This is not good! <br />Your consideration to NOT rezone to a DA-2 is appreciated. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Carol and Paul Jewell <br />645 Joaquin Avenue <br />San Leandro, CA 94577 <br /> <br />
