-
Put
multiple family housing in Natomas, not Arden Arcade.
-
There is
too much traffic in Arden Arcade already, more development is not needed.
-
Additional
development will cause more pollution.
-
Preserve
the neighborhood character.
-
High
density development encourages crime.
-
The
previous rezone to multi-family zoning was not sufficiently transparent to
the public.
-
Single
family lots should remain as they are.
-
The El
Camino Special Planning Area (SPA) feasibility study results from community
survey, a community outreach process, and was proposed by community members
and neighboring property owners.
-
Now is a
good opportunity to have input on zoning in this area. Past zoning changes
and actions have already occurred, and it is important to focus on what can
be done now.
-
Zoning
guides development, and it is important to create zoning that is compatible
with neighborhoods.
-
Sidewalks
encourage multiple family housing.
-
There is
too much multiple family housing in Arden Arcade.
-
Federal and
State laws make zoning to lower densities very difficult to implement.
-
It is rare
for a jurisdiction to study zoning to a lower density as proposed for the El
Camino SPA feasibility study.
-
Notification for development projects should include a wider radius than the
current procedure of noticing property owners within a 500’ radius.
-
Future
notification for meetings relating to the El Camino SPA should be delivered
to a wider area.
-
Dissenting
residents can oppose a use to stop it, regardless of what zoning is in
place.
-
Previous
development has conflicted with Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs),
or development guidelines, for existing homeowners and neighborhood
associations. Any SPA adopted should comply with development guidelines for
existing homeowners and neighborhood associations.
-
The
boundaries and other elements of any SPA have the potential to change, and
do not provide the community with adequate control over land uses.
-
The Arden
Arcade community must ensure that it has control over land uses in Arden
Arcade, not outside agencies such as Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment
Agency.
-
