Dear City Council and Staff,
I was unable to attend the 4-29-2024 Special Meeting of the Planning Commission on the
2023-2031 Housing Element but watched the video. For those of you who did not watch or
attend this meeting, I’d like to point out several key points not addressed in the Council’s Staff
Report:
1. Over and over the Planning Commission expressed their disappointment and frustration
at not having ANY public meetings since July 2022, almost 2 years (!), to discuss, provide
comments, get the public’s buy-in on the Housing Element as it evolved.
2. Being asked to review and approve this huge document yet being told repeatedly that
they could not make changes without significant consequences! So, the net result is
their input changes nothing!
So, when you read the 2 paragraphs at the top of page 5 of the Staff Report, please note that
what it does not say is that staff told the Planning Commissioners not to change anything! You
will be told the same thing so save yourself time and frustration by not bothering to read any of
it!
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin

Dear Staff and City Council,
Staff Report, Page 3 of 6, paragraph 3:
Q: Could you please provide a list of the properties (addresses and APN) whose land use
designation has changed and their current and future designations?
The land use map is huge and hard to read. Comparing every single color to find the changes
is difficult. This would be very helpful. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin

Dear Piu, Luke and City Council,
Based on the Planning Commission meeting, HCD told staff to remove the Dish N’ Dash site
(Site ID 48, APN 359-08-029) from the Priority Housing Sites. BUT, when I look at Table B4 it is
still listed but with an asterisk by it throughout Appendix B.
Staff has stated that “only the priority housing element sites will be rezoned”, nothing else.
Q: Will Site ID 48 be rezoned?
It appears in the B4 Tables BUT is NOT a priority housing element site. This seems confusing.
Please clarify. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
