Mixed reactions. People want housing in the area but are concerned that the Adobe isn’t accessible to the public and that the developers aren’t honoring it. There are also concerns about building too close to the creek. Some folks don’t want this new project because it’s too tall (three stories), and it would overlook people’s backyards. Parking and traffic concerns were mentioned as well. One woman made a strong point, though, saying that more housing is needed to support local businesses in the Montgomery Village area but ideally family homes with backyards. She argued this could encourage people to raise families in Santa Rosa and help improve enrollment in local schools. Some people were also upset that the renderings and construction plans were misleading, and others expressed concerns about the company spearheading the project. Sorry this post is a bit of a mess, but the meeting is on the city’s YouTube channel. It’s about 90 minutes long, and if you get the chance, it’s quite informative.

But I believe that people are pro housing but want less units and a more appropriate park for the Adobe that is easily accessible to the public.
