North Camino Ramon Options Head to Planning Commission

Have you actually read any of the materials or attended the meetings. Your sensational little blurb doesn't sound like it. Nor do any of these early proposals look like anything in Walnut Creek unless WC has developments hidden from the outside world. Web Link

Longtime- Enlighten us with a pointer to where the city has posted this important material online.

Thanks for posting the link. I have read through this previously. It would be good if the city posted any updates since July.

Longtime- There is nothing in my "sensational little blurb" that isn't supported by the city's own material. There are options on the table that significantly increase commercial and residential density beyond what exists in these areas today. Increased density pushes San Ramon toward a more urban profile similar to cities such as Walnut Creek. It's a legitimate comparison.

Again, I encourage residents to attend the planning commission meeting to voice concerns they may have about the restacking of our "downtown" areas to higher densities putting at risk our quality of life in pursuit of additional tax revenue.

NMG, I don't think there is any newer information to post at this time. New reports and staff reports will be posted closer to the meeting date. If you have questions don't hesitate to contact Lauren Barr, the planner managing this project.

To characterize the plan as a 'new Walnut Creek' is an exaggeration though, but you are entitled to your opinion.

NMG,

"Again, I encourage residents to attend the planning commission meeting to voice concerns they may have about the restacking of our "downtown" areas to higher densities putting at risk our quality of life in pursuit of additional tax revenue."

Once again the city is attacked for being forced to do things by the state. State law requires additional housing be crammed into San Ramon whether we like it or not. So that's why higher densities are being stacked downtown. The City Council needs to squeeze in approximately 3500 more units to please ABAG, the Association of Bay Area Governments. Communities that fail to comply, like Pleasanton, face legal action.

If you want to point fingers and play the blame game, at least point them in the right direction.
