To Whom It May Concern
February 16, 2024
I am wri�ng to express my strong opposi�on to the site plan. A�er careful considera�on and
review of the details provided, it is evident that the project violates numerous PUD (Planned
Unit Development) development guidelines, posing significant concerns for our community and
its well-being.
Firstly, the approval of two two-story buildings, totaling over 6,000 square feet, directly
contradicts the guidelines s�pula�ng that only one one-story building, not exceeding 5,000
square feet, is permited. This departure from the established regula�ons undermines the
integrity of the PUD framework and sets a troubling precedent for future developments.
Secondly, the decision to endorse flat-roofed buildings with predominantly large glass exteriors
is in direct viola�on of the prescribed architectural standards. These features not only deviate
from the aesthe�c requirements but also raise prac�cal concerns regarding sustainability,
energy efficiency, and overall harmoniza�on with the surrounding environment.
Furthermore, the approval of infrastructure for extensive outdoor ac�vi�es, including fire pits,
large pa�os, and sea�ng for up to 250 people, is deeply troubling given the inadequate
provision of parking spaces. With only 43 parking spaces approved, accommoda�ng such a large
capacity for outdoor gatherings is imprac�cal and poses a significant risk to public safety and
convenience.
It is essen�al to emphasize that these discrepancies undermine the fundamental principles of
responsible urban planning and community development. By disregarding established
guidelines and regula�ons, the proposed project jeopardizes the integrity of this neighborhood,
and threatens the quality of life for residents.
I urge you to reconsider the approval of the proposed project and to work towards alterna�ve
solu�ons that align with the established PUD guidelines and priori�ze the best interests of this
community. Collabora�ve efforts must be undertaken to ensure that any development adheres
to the principles of sustainability, inclusivity, and respect for the exis�ng urban fabric.
Thank you for considering these objec�ons to the proposed project.
Sincerely,
Clemente Izurieta
