    This is a terrible project. It puts existing residents and future visitors into danger by creating an evacuation nightmare on a two lane road where two people and many horses died in the Sand fire. It violates the City’s zoning and planning codes, builds over previously dedicated open space and puts a hotel smack in the middle of a rural area, violating their community development standards. The City has shown that it will not follow its ridge line ordinance or oak tree ordinance, Now will it even violate its long touted open space goals for a project that is probably not even financially viable? What has become of our City? Was no one watching in the last election?

    My name is Martin Villagran I am a local union carpenter. I strongly oppose this project because the developer Steve Kim has failed to make a commitment that all construction workers on this project will receive healthcare benefits. I am an essential worker, I have continued to work to build this much needed infrastructure during the pandemic. It is unacceptable to think this billionaire cannot hire contractors that provide healthcare benefits to their employers This project is not good for the workforce or our community We strongly oppose this project
