Mayor Medina: Save San Bruno's Neighborhoods
We, the undersigned, petition the San Bruno City Council not to authorize any new development (new construction over 10 units) that does not include self-contained parking. We define this to mean all parking for residents, visitors, and commercial activity are to be off public streets. Without revisions to the Transit Corridor Plan (TCP) parking requirements, downtown, The Heart, The Eastside, The Avenues, Mills Park, Cherry, Bayhill, and other neighborhoods will see an overwhelming influx of vehicles from the projected development of the YouTube campus and 1610 new residential units.
Why is this important?
Mayor Rico Medina and Council Member Irene O'Connell have not acknowledge the need to review the TCP parking requirements. They have been asked by the public to take action. Without revisions our neighborhoods will become parking for future development projects. Council member Salazar asked the council to review the TCP at the last city council meeting. Council member Marty Medina and Laura Davis supported Mr. Salazar's request. The more support we get for this petition the more likely they will be to make the revisions. The TCP requires new development to provide 0.75 parking spaces for a studio apartment, 1 parking space for a 1 bedroom and 1 or 2 parking spaces for a 2 bedroom. The new construction at 406 -418 San Mateo Ave was approved and is being built with 86 apartments and 106 parking spaces. There are (2) studios, (43) 1 bedroom, (30) 2 bedroom, (3) 3 bedroom apartments and (5) retail spaces. The city waived the parking requirements for the retail. As a result, more than 30 cars will likely park on Taylor and Mastick Ave. The TCP calls for 1610 new residential units. If they do not revise the TCP, our neighborhoods will become the parking lots for the new development. Where will you park? Please email Mayor Rico Medina, Vice Mayor Laura Davis, and Council members Iren O'Connoll, Marty Medina, and Michael Salazar, at [email protected]. Ask them to listen to their constituents, not the wealthy developers. We must make them hear us. Please sign our petition. Please share our petition with 5 neighbors, asking them to share with 5 more. Thank you.
