Subject:CONCERNS About the PROPOSED HRDC HOMELESS SHELTER LOCATED AT 3025 WESTRIDGE DRIVE

Dear City Commissioners,
This is Tianyu Zhang who lives in the Alder Creek neighborhood near Morning Star Elementary school.
I'm deeply concerned about how the approval of this Special Use Permit for 36 individuals in a single
family home is done without much input from the residents living in the neighborhood, and its potential
negative impact on the health and safety of our neighbors, especially our children.
The location is too close to Morning Star Elementary & Sacajawea Middle Schools. Past data show that
there are higher Crime & Safety issues related to warming shelter, and Smoke Breaks for HRDC
“Guests” will pose health issues to residents in the neighborhood.
I strongly suggest that the decision being reversed and a more appropriate location should be designated
for the shelter.
Sincerely,
Tianyu Zhang
