Dear Citizens that Care about Santa Cruz, A BIG THANK YOU TO THOSE THAT ATTENDED THE MARCH 23, 2017, MEETING. IT WAS AN EXCELLENT TURN OUT OF PEOPLE PACKED INTO THE SANTA CRUZ CITY COUNCIL ROOM. FINALLY, WE GOT THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ATTENTION. WE DEFINITELY NEEDED TO ALL ATTEND THE THURS., MAY 18, 2017 MEETING. IT IS THE ONLY WAY THE PLANNING COMMISSION WILL ADDRESS ANYTHING WE CARE ABOUT. SO MANY OF THE MEETINGS THE PLANNING COMMISSION IGNORED THAT FACT CITIZENS AND BUSINESS OWNERS DO NOT WANT 5 OR 6 STORY BUILDINGS ON SOQUEL AVE. OR WATER ST. IN SANTA CRUZ. This is a difficult fight but we need to continue to protect our city from more congestion on these streets. The head of the planning commission, Mark Mesti-Miller said in the Mar., 23rd meeting these street WILL BE Zoned for the 5 to 6 stories buildings per the 2030 plan. WE CANNOT SETTLE FOR THAT. ONLY BY COMING TO THESE MEETINGS DO WE HAVE A CHANCE AT BETTERING THE SITUATION. PLEASE WRITE THE PLANNING COMMISSION BY FILLING OUT THIS ANONYMOUS SURVEY: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/P9HVCCX PLAN TO ATTEND THE MEETING ON THURS., MAY 18, 2017 AT 7:00 PM AT 809 CENTER ST., SANTA CRUZ LOOK THROUGH THE PETITION, IF YOU SEE A POST BY A PERSON YOU KNOW PLEASE INVITE THEM TO ATTEND THE MEETING.
