600 FOOTHILL IS BACK!!!

THE DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT LIST OF PROPERTIES AND THEIR ALLOWABLE DENSITIES INCLUDES THE JUST DEFEATED 600 FOOTHILL PROJECT AT UP TO 47 UNITS!

The City’s Housing Element Subcommittee released its draft list of properties to include in the City’s Housing Element which is due to the State on October 15, 2022.

The Subcommittee changed the rules to allow 25-30 units per acre developments on the South Side of Foothill Blvd. in the Downtown Village Specific Plan area.  This is just after the City Council, on a 4-0 vote, DENIED the high-density, three-story project championed by former Councilmember Curtis on the South Side of Foothill Blvd at basically the same density.

PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION BEFORE JULY 29 AT: www.change.org/600FoothillNo

And, by the Subcommittee’s own calculations, we will meet our state required housing units WITHOUT zoning 600 Foothill at 25-30 units per acre.

We need to demand that the City Council keep its word and return the 600 Foothill property to the 12-15 dwelling unit per acre standard.

WE NEED YOUR INPUT AND WE NEED IT BY JULY 29!
