Main Street. Not sure what's going down..... but it doesn't feel right as there are conflicting <br />recommendations for item 75E. <br />In any event, I will voice my objection to the proposed project. As stewards for responsible development for <br />our City, you may have an opportunity to respectfully deny the project as proposed by the applicant and deny <br />the staff's proposal as well. <br />The size of the proposed project, a modern and blocky 5 story building surrounding an 8 story parking <br />structure, is incompatible and not neighborly to the historic neighborhood of Park Santiago. <br />This proposed project is too dense and too intense for the location and needs to be redesigned in order to be <br />more seamlessly compatible with the historic Park Santiago neighborhood. <br />The proposed project is contiguous to single family residential on 2 out of the 4 sides and only one side fronts <br />Main Street. <br />All the proposed multi -family projects north of the 5 fwy along Main Street and also along Town and Country <br />and those already built in this area are either adjacent to retail, office or the freeway..... NONE are adjacent to <br />single family residential. <br />The approximate number of current and proposed multi -family units within a 1/4 mile of this proposed project <br />is close to 5,000 units!!!! <br />And finally, the proposed "Special District" zoning is in direct violation to the goals in which it is trying to <br />achieve..... specifically: <br />Section 41-593.1. - Purpose and Intent <br />E <br />
