Residents urge delay and more outreach on Chapman Corridor plan
Summary
Numerous residents and neighborhood groups called on the Planning Commission to postpone action on the Chapman Corridor plan, citing limited outreach, potential parking loss, traffic safety, building heights and displacement risks.
Scores of residents addressed the commission during public comment, asking for more time and changes to the Chapman Corridor Revitalization Plan. Speakers said mailed notice and survey response levels were inadequate, flagged traffic and parking impacts on Chapman Avenue and near school routes, and asked the commission to prohibit hotels and taller buildings in sensitive locations.
Neighborhood groups reported door‑to‑door outreach they conducted and submitted a community‑led report for the record. Multiple speakers emphasized they were seeking binding protections for existing homeowners and clearer descriptions of who would pay for public improvements. Several asked that the commission postpone a recommendation so city staff and council could consider more community input.
