Petaluma has a reputation far and wide for being a quaint little town. I'm 58 yrs old, born and raised in Petaluma, and I am completely saddened by the push to "compete" with bigger cities ! Please stop the notion that bigger is better !!!
Gina supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelI moved here two years ago because of the historic look of downtown Petaluma and the lovely homes on the west end of town. Interesting businesses & restaurants are icing on the cake. Do we really need to make the downtown as blah as the east side? Do we really need another large hotel? There are so many in or just outside the town. Are they actually fully occupied enough to justify a new large hotel? What do the statistics show? The introduction of a structure that requires the town to overturn its current preservation plans is worrisome.
Richard supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelI'm 70 and grew up in San Rafael. It was a cute little town and is not so "cute" anymore (in my opinion). I LOVE Petaluma for its adorable historic downtown with unique boutiques, restaurants, etc. It has a lovely combination of a country and small town feel. The Appellation Petaluma Hotel will do to Petaluma what happened to San Rafael. With no parking, you won't be able to park downtown to shop, eat, etc. The surrounding streets will be full of people parking in front of homes in quiet neighborhoods to go to the hotel. The city will likely put in parking meters which won't help the businesses on Petaluma Blvd, Kentucky and Forth Street. There is already 2-hour parking. We already have some nice hotels that to my eye are hardly bursting at the seams with guests, that are mostly in the architectural style of the historic sections of downtown. Six stories will be architecturally unappealing and the modern style will significantly clash with the architecture of the surrounding buildings. If we have to have a hotel, how about a 2-story (with underground parking) built in the style of the historic buildings here?
Kaitlyn supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelI came to Petaluma 35 years ago. It was not “wine country” which had conquered my hometown. Appellation says nothing about Petaluma. It says wine tourist, the target clientele. I don’t want to see Petaluma’s unique identity replaced by one fixated on wine tourism. Walking in and trying to change the rules so they can have an outsized influence on Petaluma’s character and identity feels arrogant and disrespectful. I’m fine with change just not when it happens like this.
Eric supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelI certainly understand the council’s drive for increased tax revenue and growing Petaluma; however, it doesn’t have to be at the expense of what we hold dear. Tax revenue, growing our city, and maintaining the beauty and charm of our downtown are not mutually exclusive; we can find a way to accomplish all three.
Zach supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelI have loved hiking ever since i was a kid and to have that opportunity be taken away for younger generations would be a terrible thing as the Amazon is not the only forest to have these issues.
Noah supported: THE AMAZON IS ON FIRE! GET THE UNITED NATIONS TO STEP IN BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!The Thompkins project as presented ignores the basic geography and traffic patterns at our only two access points to US 101 which is itself already surpassing full capacity at peak commute times, with daily slow-and-go and stoppages.
In addition, no safety concerns have been taken seriously. Inadequate traffic patrols lead to habitual red light and stop sign running, speeding over limits is rampant even through residential neighborhoods as drivers struggle to find work-arounds to freeway access choke points. Nipomo has been plagued by poor development planning since the 1980’s and the conditions only worsen with every new development.
WHEN will our elected officials be held accountable for the poor future they have mapped out in their obsession with housing starts?
No amount of water and sewer infrastructure additions will impact our basic lack of major connectors and a well planned circulation system to insure safety of residents in any emergency evacuation situation .
Until the safety and wellbeing of current residents is competently planned and executed, NO massive and ill-planned housing project should go forward.
Susan supported: Stop the Dana Reserve Development as Currently DesignedThere are plenty of other places in Chesterfield where this could exist, it does not need to be built at 25 and Bates. The environmental impact alone could be horrific. Most homes in this area rely on well water and a car lot could contaminate all the surrounding area groundwater. This will be catastrophic for anyone who invested in property and land in the area.
Anne supported: Petition to Stop the Development of the IAA Auto Auction Yard in Our CommunityWe have lived in the area for more than 10 years. We moved out here to enjoy the solitude and nature. Development is rampant and deer and other wildlife have been pushed away in order to survive. I used to sit on my porch and see a couple cars in an hour, but that has changed dramatically to a huge increase in traffic already, with every small piece of acreage being developed. I cannot imagine the negative impact this will have on the environment and the ecosystem.
Susie supported: Petition to Stop the Development of the IAA Auto Auction Yard in Our CommunityThis is a terrible move, and will decrease property values and increase nuisances in the area for So Many Residents in Chesterfield and beyond (traffic, pollution, eyesores). I live in New Haven and cringe at what this will do to the 26 Mile corridor as the I94 exit there will surely be a thoroughfare of vehicles headed to this hub.
It's just about impossible to undo this once the cat's out of the bag - it should be stopped before it's too late! The vision for Chesterfield could be So Much More!
