Many of our concerns result from high infrastructure costs that the developers will incur and their need to increase the number of housing units to then make the plan financially feasible. We are planning to attend the city council meeting tonight where this topic will be discussed. We request the City Council to address the potential impacts and mitigations PRIOR to committing to the "Preferred Plans". In addition why moving forward with any plans at this time, if most of the RHNA requirements would not start until 2022? A summary of some concerns are: • Least amount of units which are still feasible • Traffic Impact on Valley Avenue, Santa Rita, First Street, and multiple other streets. • El Charro Road Extension • Reduce the total# of units for preferred plan with good balance of SF and MF • Balance of RHNA numbers across the City when built out • Build in (RHNA) Phases • IZO(Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance) Concerns/Balance • Gradual Build out: Keep/Reduce Annual Growth Management Ordinance of 250 units/year throughout the City • Impact on Schools • Strategy for cutting infrastructure costs. • Aesthetics Attached letter please find the details of our concerns We appreciate your consideration of the above issues.
