Dear members of the Encinitas Planning Commission and City Council,
We see on the agenda for this week’s Planning Commission meeting that staff has recommended approval of the 485 apartments! [Editor’s note: The meeting has been canceled at the developer’s request.]
Tell us this isn’t true, that a developer could come into our town and say it wanted to build 35 homes and end up with a monstrosity and cash cow for themselves, while claiming to help.
No resident of Encinitas who would like to see the General Plan adhered to wants this.
You must not approve a six-story, unaesthetic building with all the serious concerns for traffic safety, lack of infrastructure and general livability this would impose.
Every single person at the Feb. 1 Planning Commission meeting gave honest reasons why it must be denied.
You represent us, not the builder.
Just because a car has a legal speedometer of 120 mph, doesn’t mean you can drive this fast.
The same law must apply to this property: The net acreage must be used, not the gross unbuildable land. Surely you see this?
Do not let us down!
Chris and Carole Mayne
Leucadia
