The planning documents the City of Benicia uses to evaluate development on the Jefferson Street Ridge make no mention of the most distinctive views defining the District, the perfect geometric alignment of the landmark structures above the Carquinez Strait, the primary shipping lane of the Gold Rush.  These views define the District called "one of the most impressive ensembles of military architecture in the Western United States" by the Department of the Interior when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.  Tell City officials to place a moratorium on development in the District until their planning documents are revised to accurately depict this nationally significant historic resource, which has been a State Historic Landmark since 1935.  Streamlined ministerial review could block this view and shatter the unity of the District with no EIR, CEQA, or public hearing.
