Can there be fewer units? Can the housing component be removed?
A. BU and RCNV view 1817 Soquel Avenue as contributing to the vitality and health of the Soquel Avenue corridor and the City as a whole. The proposed housing helps to meet a great need for people buying their first homes and for employees of the two nonprofit organizations. The City has acquired and permanently preserved a public Green Belt around its perimeter. Additional housing must be provided on in-fill sites. Providing greater density of housing along transportation corridors such as Soquel Avenue helps to preserve the single family neighborhoods such as the East Morrissey neighborhood. Greater density lowers per unit costs for land, infrastructure and other expenses, thereby reducing the cost for individual units and making them more affordable to first time home buyers.
