What residents said
Density and neighborhood characterLinking of infill zone and general plan applicationsHighland Drive speedingStormwater fee
Seven people spoke or submitted comments at the hearing. Several residents supported the lower-density designation to preserve neighborhood character; one objected to linking the application with a separate infill zoning request and cited perceived planning staff bias; one opposed additional development in the city; and the applicants' representative said the application was not meant to interfere with others. The city attorney recommended hearing the related issues together.
