Help Save UC’s Comments on the Draft Plan
We submitted a comment letter to the City on May 4, 2023 that focused mostly on the Vons and Sprouts shopping centers and encouraged the City to:
• Lower the proposed density at both shopping centers
• Reduce the 100-foot height limit to 50 feet at Vons and 40 feet at Sprouts
• Include at least 30-foot setbacks from rear and side property lines
• Require at least one parking space on site for new residents, and
• Include language to protect existing commercial services and require such services to be included in future projects.
