Background: Earlier this month at the Santa Cruz Planning Commission meeting, city planning staff presented some of the proposed objective design standards for multi-family homes outside of downtown. Separately, the staff also described a proposal for six new mixed-use zone districts along parts of Soquel Avenue and Mission, Ocean, and Water streets. Both plans are meant to guide future housing developments and adhere to community values and the city’s design aesthetic. 
After a mixed response from the Santa Cruz Planning Commission, a public meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 10, tonight is expected to explain some proposed housing design standards and a separate plan to allow more homes above shops on busy Santa Cruz streets.

**Attend the meeting and explain how narrow and backed up with traffic  Water St. gets now. More density will make this problem worse. The rezoning for high density which will occur due to the density bonus will cause much too much congestion.

Plan to attend. There will be time for public comment.
