It appears that the proposed land area has <br /> always been in agricultural use, would contribute to massive increases in traffic if built <br /> up, and deserves a thorough discussion by the community before any change is <br /> allowed. <br /> How can changes of this magnitude be considered without consulting the community?? <br /> Neighbors should have been sent letters advising them of this proposed change. <br /> <br /> We sincerely hope the new draft of the General Plan does not include this land use <br /> <br /> change. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> . <br /> Lu:+~-J~tiC~ <br /> <br /> Claudia Woodward-Rice <br /> Comm.
