Approve Development: The Preserve at Corte Madera - YES

When it comes to proposed developments, I start by asking two main questions: how would it affect our community, and how would it affect the environment?

The effects that this project would have on our community are negligible; traffic studies show that there would be no impact on traffic (consider that this 24-unit proposal is immediately adjacent to a 180-unit apartment complex; the effect would on traffic be comparable to the normal variations in traffic flow that happen as the occupancy rate at that apartment complex fluctuates).

Given that the development would sit at the foot of Ring Mountain surrounded by structures on much higher ground, the effect on views would also be negligible.
