Stop El Rio/Blue Buffalo LLC/Tierra Concepts development on EcoVersity land
We, the undersigned residents of Santa Fe, respectfully ask that the Santa Fe City Council adopt the City Planning Commission's recommendation to DENY Blue Buffalo LLC/Tierra Concepts' application to amend the general plan and rezone properties at 2725 and 2639 Agua Fria St. from R-1 (single dwelling unit/acre) to R-29(29 dwelling units/acre) on 6/24/2015
Why is this important?
The 450 unit apartment complex proposed in the "heart of the Agua Fria community" will:
- destroy the community's rural residential and historical character
- increase traffic congestion, noise, accidents, pollution
- adversely impact city residents' use of water due to water scarcity and imposed drought conservation measures
- significantly increase all other infrastructure demands on the community
- set a precedent which will lead to more medium-high density development in the community; and
- there are other city zoning districts that already allow for medium-high density development.
