Dear Pasadena City Council,
My name is Eddie Mills and I'm a Local 661 Carpenters Union member. Carpenters Local 661 represents nearly 5,000 working men, women, and families in the area. I'm writing to you today regarding the hearing this afternoon for the Affinity Project. I wanted to voice my FULL SUPPORT for this project.
The Developer has made a solid commitment to hire responsible contractors that will be providing family supporting wages and benefits such as healthcare and pension.
Projects like this create hundreds of jobs for working families in the Pasadena area. The jobs that it creates are good paying jobs with benefits. Its projects like this that also create opportunity. Opportunity for union members in the Pasadena area to work and build in the area they live rather than commuting everyday to Los Angeles, Orange County, or further. This also creates opportunity for individuals to get on a career path with the trades and to get the proper skills training to be successful in the construction industry.
It is important that we do not let great opportunities like this pass. We need jobs and we need good paying jobs- mortgage paying jobs, we need healthcare, and we need retirement options for workers that call Pasadena their home.
This project would create all that. With the amount of working union families that live in the area this project would benefit the community and the people that call this community home. Let's take advantage of every opportunity to create economic prosperity for our constituents and contribute to the health and wellbeing of our community.
We ask that you SUPPORT this project in full and approve this project at today's hearing.

Dear Pasadena City Council,
My name is Abraham Siordia and I'm a Local 661 Carpenters Union member. Carpenters Local 661 represents nearly 5,000 working men, women, and families in the area. I'm writing to you today regarding the hearing this afternoon for the Affinity Project. I wanted to voice my FULL SUPPORT for this project.
The Developer has made a solid commitment to hire responsible contractors that will be providing family supporting wages and benefits such as healthcare and pension.
Projects like this create hundreds of jobs for working families in the Pasadena area. The jobs that it creates are good paying jobs with benefits. Its projects like this that also create opportunity. Opportunity for union members in the Pasadena area to work and build in the area they live rather than commuting everyday to Los Angeles, Orange County, or further. This also creates opportunity for individuals to get on a career path with the trades and to get the proper skills training to be successful in the construction industry.
It is important that we do not let great opportunities like this pass. We need jobs and we need good paying jobs- mortgage paying jobs, we need healthcare, and we need retirement options for workers that call Pasadena their home.
This project would create all that. With the amount of working union families that live in the area this project would benefit the community and the people that call this community home. Let's take advantage of every opportunity to create economic prosperity for our constituents and contribute to the health and wellbeing of our community.
We ask that you SUPPORT this project in full and approve this project at today's hearing.
Local 661 Carpenters Union Member,
Abraham siordia

Re: Protect Pasadena Trees
Dear Mr. Jomsky,
The Pasadena City Council must address the following issues before approving the planned development project located at 465-577 Arroyo Parkway- 1) A massive subterranean garage going lot line to lot line, destroying all trees on the property; 2) Planting of no large trees between building lot lines to create an urban canopy within a dense urban area; 3) Zero street setbacks which will destroy the potential integration of trees into the new development plans supporting our urban forest policy. 4) Planting of only two street trees as described in the conditions of approval. 5) On page 42 of the Responses to Comments in the Final EIR, the city explicitly acknowledges "that in-ground trees may convey a perception of greater permanence than trees in planters; however, from an arboriculture perspective, there is little difference." Does City Council agree with this statement? The City Council must further review why the EIR conditions for this project approves of only two additional street trees to suffice to match our our urban forestry goals and policies for the General Plan. It is the city's and residents' interest to create an environment where strong urban forestry efforts with dense vegetation and a beautiful urban canopy for the vitality and health of the neighborhood. It is imperative that we ensure the city we pass down to our children is made of more than just parking lots and concrete developments.
Sincerely,

Re: Help our Tree Canopy!
Dear Mr. Jomsky,
Pasadena's General Plan includes goals and policies with the purpose of avoiding or mitigating any negative environmental effects for the city, including protecting trees and open space. Policy 10.13 encourages the maintenance and planting of additional trees along the city's sidewalks and private developments to support the health and diversity of wildlife, reduce the urban heat index, and sequester GHG emissions. However, in the Affinity Draft EIR, the only planned condition for approval calls for planting of two new street trees along Arroyo Parkway and California Blvd. All other trees will be above-grade planters. This project is proposed to remove 23 current in-ground trees-two are mature Canary Pines, which produce significant shade. The plan to replace 23 mature trees with only two street trees and 38 above-grade trees in planters, raises a number of valid questions: 1) How can Pasadena's city council find this project to be in alignment with the goals and policies related to the urban forest as outlined in our General Plan? 2) Are the two new sidewalk trees enough to support healthy and diverse wildlife? 3) How effective are potted trees at mitigating and sequestering the pollution caused by the estimated 6,952 additional vehicle trips (as proposed by building A) 4) Will the above-ground potted plants reduce the urban heat island that will be created from the construction of a 151,000 sf medical office and 184,376 senior living facility? The Pasadena City Council must address the following issues before approving this project: 1) The proposed massive subterranean garage going lot line to lot line, which will destroy all trees on the property; 2) The lack of any plans to place large trees between building lot lines, which would create an urban canopy within a dense urban area; 3) The complete lack of street setbacks, which destroys any potential integration of trees into the new development; and 4) The assertion that planting two in-ground trees will somehow meet Pasadena's goals regarding trees and green neighborhoods. It is imperative that we ensure the city we pass down to our children is made of more than just parking lots and concrete developments. Please help our community.

Re: Magnolia Landmark District and the Affinity Project Dear Mr. Jomsky,
The residents of Magnolia Landmark District are alarmed by the planned development proposal to build two, seven- story buildings just a block and a half from our boundaries. The Project as described with medical uses, has a traffic volume of 6,366 trips a day if the questionable and overzealous "trip credits" are not factored in. The City of Pasadena has not placed any conditions of approval in the CEQA study to protect our neighborhood from cut through traffic and they have not provided conditions to ensure we can readily exit our street when the train creates backup all the way to Euclid Avenue during peak hours. How will the lack of any limitations or conditions for approval prevent this adjacent historic neighborhood of quiet streets and historic homes turn into a very busy, noisy and unsafe living environment? Pasadena Land Use regulations were meant to help neighborhoods evolve without sacrificing their unique characteristics or charm. This proposed use will erode our surrounding historical neighborhood if it moves forward with the massive unmitigated number of vehicle trips adjacent to our historic neighborhood. In addition, this planned development is completely incompatible with our General Plan which promises to protect the character of our neighborhoods. Council must do more to understand the impacts of building 380,000 sf of new medical space a block and a half from our boundaries. How we can be assured our neighborhood will not be impacted when there are currently no mitigations being put in place to ensure our landmark district remains healthy, comfortable, and pedestiran safe while adjacent commercial districts massively expand? We must ensure this idea of a high-growth, high-density model for Arroyo Parkway has been thoroughly reviewed and impacts are appropriately mitigated before moving forward. Can the city consider doing a cumulative traffic impact report to ensure our street will remain accessible? The CEQA analysis is based on the 2013 Travel demand Forecasting Model which seems old considering we are closing in on 2023. In addition, the EIR Response to Comments (112.3) also states the City's inability to conduct traffic count surveys, why? It seems perfectly plausible and imperative to conduct in person traffic surveys to ensure the success of our roads and maintenance of our historic neighborhoods. This development is too massive, lacks enough green space for future residents, is not contextually relative to our suburban neighborhood, and will cause the intrusion of traffic impacts to our street. Southwest Pasadena does not have the proper infrastructure to support such growth, and we are concerned that all of this new traffic will make it nearly impossible for Pasadena residents to access adjacent roads for their transportation needs. When was the last time Pasadena approved a project of this size with only one condition of approval being two street trees?

Dear Pasadena City Council,
My name is Bryan Sanchez and I'm a Local 661 Carpenters Union member. Carpenters Local 661 represents nearly 5,000 working men, women, and families in the area. I'm writing to you today regarding the hearing this afternoon for the Affinity Project. I wanted to voice my FULL SUPPORT for this project.
The Developer has made a solid commitment to hire responsible contractors that will be providing family supporting wages and benefits such as healthcare and pension.
Projects like this create hundreds of jobs for working families in the Pasadena area. The jobs that it creates are good paying jobs with benefits. Its projects like this that also create opportunity. Opportunity for union members in the Pasadena area to work and build in the area they live rather than commuting everyday to Los Angeles, Orange County, or further. This also creates opportunity for individuals to get on a career path with the trades and to get the proper skills training to be successful in the construction industry.
It is important that we do not let great opportunities like this pass. We need jobs and we need good paying jobs- mortgage paying jobs, we need healthcare, and we need retirement options for workers that call Pasadena their home.
This project would create all that. With the amount of working union families that live in the area this project would benefit the community and the people that call this community home. Let's take advantage of every opportunity to create economic prosperity for our constituents and contribute to the health and wellbeing of our community.
We ask that you SUPPORT this project in full and approve this project at today's hearing.
Local 661 Carpenters Union Member,

In addition, this planned development is completely incompatible with our General Plan which promises to protect the character of our neighborhoods. Council must do more to understand the impacts of building 380,000 sf of new medical space a block and a half from our boundaries. How we can be assured our neighborhood will not be impacted when there are currently no mitigations being put in place to ensure our landmark district remains healthy, comfortable, and pedestiran safe while adjacent commercial districts massively expand? We must ensure this idea of a high-growth, high-density model for Arroyo Parkway has been thoroughly reviewed and impacts are appropriately mitigated before moving forward. Can the city consider doing a cumulative traffic impact report to ensure our street will remain accessible? The CEQA analysis is based on the 2013 Travel demand Forecasting Model which seems old considering we are closing in on 2023. In addition, the EIR Response to Comments (112.3) also states the City's inability to conduct traffic count surveys, why? It seems perfectly plausible and imperative to conduct in person traffic surveys to ensure the success of our roads and maintenance of our historic neighborhoods. This development is too massive, lacks enough green space for future residents, is not contextually relative to our suburban neighborhood, and will cause the intrusion of traffic impacts to our street. Southwest Pasadena does not have the proper infrastructure to support such growth, and we are concerned that all of this new traffic will make it nearly impossible for Pasadena residents to access adjacent roads for their transportation needs. When was the last time Pasadena approved a project of this size with only one condition of approval being two street trees?
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sally Howell
