We have made a list of some sample
questions and issues to raise when addressing the Planning Division.
They can be found by clicking
here. It is important to send in your comments
with your name, address, phone number, and email address. Also,
be sure to mention Santa Clara Gardens and 90 North
Winchester Avenue, Santa Clara in your email or letter so the City
knows the property you are referring to.
Here
are diagrams of the proposed project as it stands today. The City
Staff shared both Charities Housing and SummerHill Homes proposed
diagrams of the project site: Santa Clara Gardens. Here are the
diagrams:
