SB35 - SEC. 3. 65913.4. (B) "A site in which at least 75 percent of the perimeter of the site adjoins parcels that are developed with urban uses. For the purposes of this section, parcels that are only separated by a street or highway shall be considered to be adjoined." Using SB35 language, perimeter sections A and B “adjoin” the railroad track parcels which are NOT “developed with urban uses” nor do they contain a passenger facility.
IT DOES NOT MEET THE 75% THRESHOLD and should be deemed ineligible for SB35 by the County.

We'll keep you posted and let you know how you can make your voice heard on development and traffic issues in our neighborhood. I'll add your name to the list of neighbors opposed to high density development and communicate that opposition to decision makers.

Patterson Neighbors Group Background
I started by joining with several other neighbors to oppose a proposed office project near the intersection of Patterson Avenue and the U.S. 101 northbound off ramp. Approximately 225 of our fellow neighbors rallied together, made our voices heard, and were successful in getting the Board of Supervisors to deny the project and protect our neighborhood. The intent is to make sure decision makers hear from neighbors to make informed decisions on development projects. To keep informed, sign-up for email updates.
