Mayor and Councilpersons, thank you for listening to the people by supporting a woonerf and a full width linear park on L
St, and safety measures that can be taken asap on K St.
Please consider form-based code for specific blocks, especially alongside the L St path. Danco’s Alvarado Garden
Apartments development in San Pablo is a great example of building scale that would work wonderfully next to a linear park. See Danco’s conceptual image here: https://www.danco-group.com/projects/alvarado-gardens
Please respect existing homes’ right to solar access when setting standards for setbacks and stepbacks. Please insist that Staff provide us with the 3D modeling that has been paid for.  When setting height limits for buildings, please know that developers using State density bonus law will be able to start with our height limit and go UP from there.
Keep in mind – zoning doesn’t get housing built. Favorable economic conditions gets housing built. No matter how easy you think zoning will make development, if developers can’t make money on their development, they won’t build. If more supply actually provides enough housing to the point that rents decline, building will stop. So with that in mind, please
zone appropriately for this small town.
Thank you,
Sherri Starr
