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 rural mountain (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.
