Dear Planning Commissioners,
1. Please ask planning staff why the project on E Estates Drive is being considered for
ministerial review when there are known hazards onsite through geotracker
2. Please ask planning staff for a report on large development projects in the City, even if
they won’t be coming to planning commission for decision-making. There is a project
on E Estates and the Fontana Restaurant site
3. Please ask planning staff to explain whether there are any changes to the hotel plans that
are requesting renewal of their development agreements. Also, since those development
agreements have lapsed, can you please ensure that the hotels shall be built to the most
current building codes (as you may know, Vallco has requested 2016 building codes,
which are antiquated as the codes are renewed every 3 years –2016 does not require
bird-safe, all electrification, zero net energy, and fire codes that are not as good as they
are today.
Thanks,
Rhoda Fry

Hello Planning commission, Chad and Luke,
I would like to bring to your attention the third attachment submitted for the 22777 San Juan
agenda item for the 02/27 planning commission meeting. The doc link is below.
The visuals are nowhere in the vicinity of the subject property downhill view.
I don’t understand how the planning commission signed off 5-0 on this without validating the
impact to views of the hillside property from the valley floor actually closer to the target area
such as from Alcalde Rd, San Felipe Rd, Merriman Rd, Mercedes Rd, Cordova Rd, Santa
Lucia Rd.
I urge the commission and city staff to seek a revised visual attachment showing actually
impacted views and conduct a study of the down hill areas to assess the impact to views and
especially any potential reflection from large sections of glass windows in the proposed new
designs.
Thank you.

ITEM 3 – HE Annual Progress Report, Staff Report, Page 4 of 4
City Council DID NOT authorize the use of BMR Funds to pay off the YIMBY lawsuit!
ATTACHMENT 1 – DraŌ General Plan Annual Progress Report – PAGE 23 of 67, middle of the page
ONLY 267 of the 890 BMR units controlled by
City!
WHY??
WHY can’t the City control them?
How do we know it’s being managed
properly?
Will they be able to dip into BMR Funds for
non-city managed BMR units?
