Stop Commercial Projects in Granite Bay Residential Areas

Comments

#1

I'm completely against this project. So many of these so close by already.

I'm opposed to commercial businesses in residential neighborhoods, to the placement of this business on a private street, and to the unsafe location at the intersection of Douglas Blvd.

I support to continuance of the rural setting of Granite Bay. I have been a property owner in Granite Bay for 46 years and a resident for 43 years. I am oppose to commercial endeavors that are not in our Community Plan.

I am signing because huge residential care facilities should not be allowed in residential neighborhoods. They are incompatible, we have more than enough in Granite Bay.

#6

I live one block away and believe not only is the proposal unsafe, it will increase traffic and is not appropriate for the neighborhood.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#7

I am signing this petition because this proposed commercial project is in direct conflict with the first goal of the Granite Bay Community Plan Chapter 3 Zoning which states "Preserve the unique character of the Granite Bay area which is exemplified by the general rural environment, oak woodlands, mix of land uses and densities, and high quality of development."

I'm signing this petition because this is a narrow rural PRIVATE street with a single access point off Douglas Boulevard. There is absolutely no room for any overflow parking along this street. Opposing cars already have to slow to a crawl to pass to ensure safe passage by both vehicles. Exiting Arabian Circle is already hazardous due to the extensive traffic on Douglas, limited visibility and is further complicated with additional cars exiting Dover Drive and turning left and/or residents from Granite Cove Drive who are u-turning at the Arabian Circle access median. This street is a treasured rural neighborhood, please do not allow a sizeable commercial operation to be built and operate as that was NOT within the allowable use/zoning when they purchased this property in 2016. This is absolutely an improper location for such a facility.

This is NOT condusive to the community and is only a grab for profits from a greedy developer.

The care center doesn’t belong in that neighbor hood or area
Find a new location
The old people won’t know the can’t remember

I strongly oppose allowing a commercial enterprise to be built in a private rural residential neighborhood contrary to Granite Bay’s Community Plan. This represents further degradation of another bucolic Granite Bay neighborhood.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#32

Tired of the general plan not being adhered to.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#33

We share a fence with The Catuna Care Home Project at 6505 Arabian Circle.

#35

This project is inappropriate for this neighborhood. Granite Bay already has too many senior complexes, per capita. I’ve lived in Granite Bay for 50+ years, and the endless requests for inappropriately zoned facilities has become ridiculous.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#36

Tired of Douglas corridor being built up. Too many accidents at high speed

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#37

This is a totally inappropriate location for this facility. The road access is inadequate and unsafe for a facility housing high risk patients

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#38

This project will increase traffic issues at the intersection, has limited parking that will overflow into neighborhood served by a private road. Maintenance and delivery trucks will block roads and elevate the noise levels, and so much more. Please support our fight os the commercialization of our rural community.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#40

I'm opposed to this project because this is a narrow, rural, private and peaceful street with a single access point off Douglas Boulevard. This will create an unsafe exit onto Douglas and is completely inappropriate for our area. These rural neighborhoods are what make Granite Bay a special place to live and we need to protect them. Please listen to the homeowners and residents and block this plan. There are more than enough of these types of care facilities in our area.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

I live on Arabian Circle and oppose the Catuna Care Home Project

Slow down developments. Douglas too busy already!

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#49

This development is inappropriate for a residential area. It is time to stop making so many exceptions to the general plan. Unfortunately, residents of our district keep voting in a pro development Supervisor. There is little hope in maintaining the rural character of Granite Bay unless Kirk Uhler is replaced with an effective leader that will work hard to uphold the general plan. Kirk Uhlers pro business bias will continue to destroy the wonderful character of Granite Bay until one day the transformation will be complete when our town is officially renamed Roseville East!

We appreciate the quiet neighborhood and want limits on how many Home Care Facilities are built in Granite Bay which seem to be popping up all over town these past few years.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

The Granite Bay Community Plan is being ignored and violated by Placer County. Goal 9. “Ensure that new infill construction or substantial expansion of an existing home in an existing neighborhood is compatible in form , massing, height, set-backs, lot coverage, building materials, design and orientation and positively contributes to the existing neighborhood context.”This goal was to protect neighbors from what is presently occurring in this project. This development will negatively effect the neighborhood.Vote no and respect our GBCP and the neighbors. Thank You, Jane Negri

Neighborhood zoning is the foundation of good communities. Businesses are not allowed and should not be granted special privileges in residential neighborhoods

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#67

I am opposed to all Granite Bay developments that do not follow the Granite Bay Community Plan.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#68

This project is inappropriate for a residential neighborhood in terms of size. If the owner wants more beds the owner should buy another home to increase the size of their home card business.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#69

I do not think commercial enterprises should be imbedded in residential neighborhoods. Care homes like this will have higher incidents involving emergency vehicles and sirens which disrupt neighbors.

This is a rural area. A green king of GB.

As a resident of Granite Bay, and one that lives on the Douglas corridor, I'm concerned about what our rural community is turning into. Douglas is busy enough as it is, adding more businesses to the area will compound the traffic problems. Taking an existing home and demolishing it to build a Skilled Nursing Facility (SKF) is first and foremost against our Granite Bay community plan and also just an extremely large waste.

I actually looked at purchasing this particular property in question before finally buying one off Berg. This Arabian Circle home has a lot of charm and character that a horse owner or small farmer would love to own. And instead someone bought this home to essential tear down, in the hopes that they could get it rezoned with the way our current leaders are handing out rezoning left and right.

I'm also directly affected by the "medical" offices going in on the NE corner of Berg and Douglas; I share the noise abutment wall with the property. The builders received that rezoning after I purchased my home. The amount of construction noise and dust is extremely problematic for us. Our cars, pool, solar panels, everything inside are all extremely dusty nonstop. Our 2 kids (with 1 on the way) can't play outside on their trampoline and swing without getting dusty. Anyway, it's extremely invasive, and this Arabian Circle property would be the same way for those residents near this proposed rezone and SKF.

As a runner and mountain biker, I'm often running/riding down Douglas to access the lake trails and could not imagine another business bringing more traffic and taking away from the rural look and feel of our community.

Rezoning this beautiful, charming, quaint home, with a nice pool and barn, and turning it into a SKF, would be a major shame. Let's keep our existing viable structures in place and not rezone our living space away!

Thank you,
Chris Petterson (Cameron Creek Ct)

Traffic would be overwhelming and dangerous.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

We already have one facility on Barton and Douglas Blvd. and I want to preserve the rural environment in Granite Bay.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#94

I do not support a residential care home being built in a neighborhood with onky one way in and out.

This should not be approved.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#103

I do not want to lose the character of this lovely area by allowing more large scale commercial structures in a rural residential neighborhood. It is already challenging to get in and out if Arabian Circle from the vet clinic. This would just be overwhelming!!

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#104

Granite Bay is being disproportionately being inundated with senior centers draining emergency responder resources.

(Raleigh, 2020-05-18)

#106

I am signing this petition because I am afraid we are loosing our Granite Bay "charm" and if we don't stop projects like this, we will never be able to recover what we are trying to preserve.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#121

Too too many assisted living care facilities in this area. They need to be spread out.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#124

No more expansions

(Granite bay, 2020-05-18)

#128

This is a residential neighborhood. Why add commercial traffic into this property.

(GRANITE BAY, 2020-05-18)

#129

I oppose the expansion of residence for this site.

(Granite Bsy, 2020-05-18)

#130

I oppose this proposal!! We have enough traffic in that area already. Please leave our Granite Bay the way it was originally set up with the GBMAC . wE DO NOT WANT THESE CAREHOMES IN OUR AREA.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#132

We need to keep the authentic rural nature of granite bay !

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#136

I want to keep Granite Bay more rural- we already have many options for senior residences and we should limit commercial development. There are traffic concerns as well.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#139

Need to control development in residential and ag residential areas.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#143

The last thing Granite Bay needs is another Care Facility. The dangers to residents and traffic patterns withstanding, we don't have the population or resources to support another such cared facility.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

This violates our community plan zoning. Granite Bay has over 10x the number of nursing home beds required for our population. Stop serving outside interests at the expense of our residents!

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#148

I’m signing because this is a Violation of the granite bay community plan. It is not in accordance of the placer county guidelines posted on the county website. The Douglas blvd traffic is already a nightmare and dangerous to drive into and out of the small residential streets. Arabian circle is a rural area and not designed for this type of development. In accordance with the rural guidelines posted on placer county website, this development does not meet criteria and is not beneficial to the community.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#150

Keep Granite Bay country and protect this residential neighborhood!

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#153

Don't need another expensive care facility

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-18)

#157

To big

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

#158

I was a hospice rep until the virus hit. I worked with facilities and Board and cares. This size facility is not needed here. At some point enough is enough. Too many comings and goings. We are losing our neighborhoods as it is.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

#159

This is another project that goes against our general plan.

(Granite bay, 2020-05-19)

#161

This is not appropriate for the area. Please do not build this.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

#165

Traffic flow, size and density concerns.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

#171

I oppose this large scale catuna care home. Since when did granite bay become the care home capital of placer county

(Granite bay, 2020-05-19)

#178

We moved to a granite Bay because it was quiet. We do not want commercial buildings going up and closing the streets further.

(granite bay, 2020-05-19)

#180

The people who have chosen Arabian Circle as their home chose it because if it’s quiet low traffic nature this home would increase traffic and volume of noise and would ruin that small town feel

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

#182

There is already too much growth in granite bay.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

#184

I support our community plan, and I do not understand why it is being undermined at virtually every planning department meeting.

(GRANITE BAY, 2020-05-19)

#187

Enough of these zoning variances. Developers knew the zoning before they bought and if they cannot make a profit staying within the guidelines they should not buy the lot

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

#189

This is a residential area that has a very small road. It is a quite neighborhood that has very little traffic. This will increase traffic on Douglas Blvd and slow others down with staff, visitors, construction equipment and Fire dept services. This will change the appearance of this established country neighborhood to a commercial type appearance. There are many other places in the South Placer area that would be a more appropriate location. Granite Bay is being gobbled up by commercial buildings. Look at what a mess Douglas is now. Granite Bay is loosing its charm. How many more geriatric facilities do we need. Let the residents of Arabian Circle live in price. That is why they pay the price they pay to live there. This facility will not enhance the property value of the Arabian Circle. Please do not sell out that neighborhood for increased taxes. Let’s face it, the only reason this residentially zone property is being considered or approved is tax revenues.

(granite bay, 2020-05-19)

Extra traffic

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

#193

This project will exacerbate traffic at an already difficult intersection.

(Loomis, 2020-05-19)

#195

This is not a good place for ANOTHER senior care place. The area is being flooded with them. Would you let 5 busy coffee houses in the same area??

(Roseville, 2020-05-19)

GB is losing the rural feel for which it is known

(granite bay, 2020-05-19)

#197

Too big of a development and not in residential areas!

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

#198

Only one way access. In case of fire they could not evacuate. And it's in the wrong location off a private road

(Granite bay, 2020-05-19)

#199

I’m signing this petition because I strongly oppose this location. The care facility should NOT be allowed in any residential community.

(Granite Bay, 2020-05-19)

stop changing the general plan for granite bay
