Friends –
The 100% affordable rental housing being built by the city of Sebastopol next to Palm Drive hospital is coming before the Planning Commission next Tuesday, June 13, starting at 7 p.m. at the Youth Annex Building.
It is a project that needs to be done; there are some issues with it that may further stall its progress.
Please come out to the meeting next Tuesday to support the project.
Brief Description:45-unit affordable housing project to be located at the corner of Petaluma and Walker Avenues (APN# 004-550-018). The proposed development consists of six two-story buildings along the northern portion of the site, one three-story building along the southern edge, and one single-story building in the center. This co housing community will be comprised of a centrally located common house and 18 one-bedroom; 10 two-bedroom; and 17 three-bedroom rental units. There are issue, mainly around auto access. Palm Drive thinks there should be an outlet on Walker Avenue, as well as on Petaluma Avenue. Neighbors on Walker and Eleanor don’t want an outlet on Walker leading to their narrow streets.
Fire Chief John Zanzi is fine with an emergency vehicle only access on Walker. So is the city, apparently.
Come support the project, protect the neighborhood and have a part in this very needed project. For more details you can go to the Design Review Board minutes of their Dec. 2005 meeting, https://www.ci.sebastopol.ca.us/pdfs...1-05DRBMinutes .pdf
