I don't know about <br />"Millennials" or care to all that much. I /do/ feel that San Leandro is auto-centric and <br />needs to find a /way forward/ from that stance. Form-based planning codes have <br />helped other communities such as ours establish an actionable and readily understood <br />vision based upon community input. Upfront costs exist but in the long run saves $ and <br />results in a built environment that exceeds expectations. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />-Leah Hall <br /> <br />Sent from my iPad <br /> <br />On Jun 13, 2016, at 6:31 PM, susan riskind via The BNA <thebna@listbox.com> wrote: <br /> <br /> <br />I would like to second former mayor Stephen Cassidy's call for a public discussion on <br />proposed zoning changes that would insert high density housing as tall as the <br />downtown Wells Fargo building right next to 1 and 2 story homes in violation of both <br />the community developed TOD and accepted planning practices. Our neighborhoods are <br />small and narrow: do we want them surrounded by high walls or should we have <br />transitional development that gradually increases in height and density as it approaches <br />Downtown? Should areas such as the Dutton/Bancroft intersection be considered an <br />extension of Downtown? What about parking requirements? Traffic impacts? It is naïve <br />to believe that everyone will ride the bus and take BART. These are serious changes to <br />our neighborhoods and we will live with them for a long time. <br />We need a REAL community process to discuss these issues, not canned dog and pony <br />shows that pretend they don't exist. Please contact the City Manager's office and ask <br />them to delay these proposals until we can have a true informed voice in the future of <br />our community. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br /> <br />Rose <br />The BNA | Archives | Modify Your Subscription | Unsubscribe <br />Now <br />The BNA | Archives | Modify Your Subscription | Unsubscribe <br />Now
