The proposed project:

Stratham Homes is proposing to build 216 High-Density apartments and townhomes in the center of town, at the corner of SUMNER & SCHLEISMAN ROAD. The structures would be 2 & 3 stories in height, and the project would also include a 5,000 sq. ft. retail/restaurant complex on the property.  All in the middle of quiet residential neighborhoods consisting of hundreds of single-family homes.

Why Sumner Place is NOT a good fit for this location:

There are countless reasons why Sumner Place Eastvale is NOT the right development for the specified area.  We invite you to look into all the specifics and data of the project in the "Initial Study" attached for the negative impacts of this project; not just the beautiful renderings displayed by the builder. The location encompasses one of the most congested intersections in the city along with high rates of accidents.  There are 3 CNUSD Schools less than 1/2 mile from the proposed site; thus, posing a risk to our children as they walk or ride bikes to school.  High-density developments rarely have a realistic amount of adequate parking for tenants; thus, resulting in overflow cars in the adjacent neighborhoods.  

Some of the negative impacts of high-density housing in the middle of single-family homes:

Increased traffic concentrated in a small area, potentially higher rates of collissions, parking violation occurrences, adverse effects on public safety, and impacts on school capacity.  It has very few, if any, long-term benefits.
