Elk Grove residents spoke of the mistrust of our leaders regarding the numerous poor planning decisions and this caused LAFCo to question the city's need. LAFCo bases the decision upon proven need. The goals of LAFCo; Ensure the orderly formation of local government<br />agencies. Preserve Agricultural and open space lands.<br />Discourage Sprawl.<br />Most certainly our city with rezoning to more homes, reducing park size to minimal required by state law, and not truly preserving urban open space.

I believe if this concept was profitable and a money maker the private businesses would be knocking at the city's door. Soccer Stadium...is this what the residents want? Do residents/taxpayers want to finance this? <br /><br />Sphere of Influence(SOI). Trust issue? Yes it exists. Ask all the residents who packed the chambers when affordable housing was being considered for their neighborhood. Ask any resident who went and researched the general plan and zoning code before purchasing a home. For the majority of residents their home is their nest egg. How would one feel about a rezone directly behind your property that would reduce your home property value? <br />The land use decisions by our council are not providing quality of life for residents. <br /><br />The General Plan and rezones since 2003 add up to approximately 40 with Planning Commission supporting the majority of them. A general plan can be amended four times a year. Our city is anticipating more than 4 this year(2014) that they are being "bundled"(Council meeting January 2014) <br /><br />Our city leaders want us "physically fit" however provide projects that are not pedestrian friendly. Don't believe me ask the apartment residents on Bond and Waterman who to walk to the store and are offered a gravel pathway along a 50mph roadway. <br /><br />LAFCo did not deny the project based on mistrust of Elk Grove residents speaking up. It was the city's own track record. It was based on Elk Grove leaders selling the application on needing 8,000acres to correct the jobs:housing imbalance. An important question was asked by LAFCo of our planning director; How much of the SEPA(1200 acres)is planned for housing? His response 70%. This of course followed the objective data and pictures provided by Elk Grove Grasp of empty retail, commercial, and industrial parks. <br />The most recent jobs brought to Elk Grove came at a cost of 3.4million dollars to tax payers. <br /><br />Medical Mecca; the medical jobs that have arrived to our city; not new jobs transfers.<br /><br />The best an article in Sacramento Business where it is said the houses will be built first and the jobs will follow. Didn't our city with Maderia try the houses first? Where are the jobs??? <br /><br />Really great in Sacramento Business Journal an article discussing our city spending 7,000 to bring jobs from Texas...the Elk Grove slogan "In Texas, they like everything bigger, but in Elk Grove we like everything better". Really; I ran on "Let's make Elk Grove better not bigger". Now of course our Mayor has selectively rephrased what I ran under. <br /><br /><br />Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-76493478650690516662014-03-12T21:33:20.652-07:002014-03-12T21:33:20.652-07:00Sound bites, big signs...and endorsements.Sound bites, big signs...and endorsements.Coffee Beannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-38384681974767764982014-03-12T20:38:16.939-07:002014-03-12T20:38:16.939-07:00Mr. Ly,

However,to accommodate the EGUSD dropping school bus transport, E-tran reworked many of its routes. <br /><br />E-tran does not stop at the "border" as you indicate. E-tran travels each and every day to the CRC/Valley High area. It just may be that there is no direct bus or no connection to another bus that moves those from the Franklin area to the Valley High area. <br /><br />Also, you imply that Ms. Chaires is responsible for the traffic issues at Franklin. Wrong again. Ms. Chaires was not appointed to the Planning Commission until after the build out of the Franklin area. <br /><br />Maybe if you stay in your current office for the full term you might educate yourself a little more.Disaffected ex-voternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-64950675748111040022014-03-12T17:21:23.181-07:002014-03-12T17:21:23.181-07:00Sound like even more high density low income housi...Sound like even more high density low income housing projects will be on the way.<br /><br />I sure as heck would like to know why executive housing is being proposed for the SEPA.<br /><br />I doubt a higher income business owner would want to live near a bunch of housing projects and commercial structures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-38010075574973862652014-03-12T17:09:33.139-07:002014-03-12T17:09:33.139-07:00Listen to the tape posted on the other story.
