Negative impact on already overcrowded schools.

As is there is hardly any parking, with more units can we still do business in down town

Too big! 03/31/2009
 
The large size of this development does not appear in keeping with the character of the neighborhood, nor do our streets and parking appear able to sustain the increased traffic and parking.

Not enough room in downtown schools to accommodate that many new children. It must be scaled back.

Major concern is adding another 75 or more children to the already overcrowded Addison Elementary school where I may be struggling this year to get my own child in and my youngest in several years time.

Dear Planning Commission Memeber, We had an agreement under SOFA to limit building size, please honor it and keep this project within that agreed upon envelope.

There is already so much high density development along the Channing street area in downtown Why isn't this activity distributed more evenly across the city? Why not build this off California Ave for instance?

There needs to be an infrastructure before building more buildings, and filling them up with more people. If the builder would like to accommodate the building with another school, another parking structure, another park... Addison Elementary school is literarly bursting at the seems. Has there ever been any thought to putting housing structures that are affordable in a less congested part of palo alto? It seems to me there are other areas that could be considered.

800 High Street is MASSIVE. We need to build housing that is more appropriate for the neighborhood. We shouldn't feel compelled to just pack people in like sardines in the name of more housing. Please don't make this neighborhood look like the urban projects.

No exceptions! 03/30/2009
 
Save our neighborhood! I have been repeatedly disappointed in the Planning Department allowing developers exceptions and variances, so they can build overly tall, overly populated buildings. Adding low income housing does not mean it is always best for the city. Having green practices in the new building does not always cut energy consumption- I have yet to see one of these new developments that are using less water and energy than the building they are replacing. Please slow the multiple housing growth in downtown Palo Alto, you have already taken all our parking in front of our homes and forced Addison to lose precious play space to portables.
