ITEM03/51 ITEM03/52 ITEM03/53 ITEM03/54 From: To: Subject: Date: Ramirez, Elaine Rawson application Monday, October 7, 2024 9:49:39 PM [You don't often get email from jdpaustin@me.com. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] External Email - Exercise Caution I am a member of the Hillview Green Lane HOA. I object to the application and its change from the current school use, which actually is a non conforming use under their current zoning. We don’t want more commercial traffic in our neighborhood. The dense commercial zoning in such close proximity to Casis Elementary School would present more traffic problems and dangers to the young children and the drivers on an already congested 2 lane Exposition Boulevard as well as nearby residential streets.
