Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
Attached please find my letter regarding the independent traffic engineering rebuttal for the proposed project at 1364 E. Green Street from Prism Engineering. Please make the report public record for thehearing on February 23rd.
In addition, t respectfully ask that you take a few minutes to view the following drone footage, which captures existing traffic conditions on Holliston Avenue during school activity:
'S.' Drone Footage:
https://vimeo.com/1114381242What you will see in the video:
In the opening portion of the footage: vehicle queues already extending well beyond intersectionapproaches during school drop-off.
Midway through the video: cars stacked bumper-to-bumper along Holliston, with pedestrians — including young children — navigating between stopped vehicles.
As the camera widens: the narrow width of the residential street and the proximity of the school, church, and neighborhood homes to heavy vehicle movement.
Throughout the footage: spillback conditions where congestion extends through intersections and blocks driveways.
These are existing conditions — before the addition of a 93,000+ square foot R&D facility generating over 1,000 daily trips, supported by a 260-car garage and daily commercial deliveries.
The findings in the attached letter, combined with this visual evidence, raise serious safety concerns for the 550 students at St. Philip the Apostle School, as well as pedestrians and parishioners who rely on Hotliston Avenue every day.
1 At a minimum, the issues identified warrant a more thorough operational analysis during actual school peak hours and meaningful consideration of redirecting project access to Green Street.
I never imagined the City would so clearly blur the longstanding boundary between a quiet residential neighborhood and high-intensity commercial development without fully resolving the safety implications first.
Thank you for your time, your careful review, and your continued commitment to public safety.
Respectfully,
Erika Foy
2 Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council,
I am writing to urge you to carefully review and support the findings contained in theindependent traffic engineering rebuttal regarding the proposed project at 1364 E.
Green Street, known as the Caltech Research & Development project. The report raisessignificant safety concerns related to increased traffic around the approximately 550children who attend St. Philip the Apostle School each day, as well as the pedestriansand parishioners who call this neighborhood home.
Most importantly, the rebuttal identifies a fundamental flaw: the City's traffic study did not evaluate conditions during the actual peak conflict times — morning drop-off (7:30- 8:30 a.m.) and afternoon pick-up (2:45-3:45 p.m.). These are precisely the periods when vehicle queues form, pedestrians are concentrated, and street capacity is fully utilized. It is clearly when the risk of accidents is highest.Holliston Avenue is not a high-capacity corridor. It is a narrow residential street that already experiences standing vehicle queues twice daily due to school operations.
During these windows, traffic does not flow — it stops. Vehicles back up throughintersections and block driveways. Adding approximately 1,036 daily project trips, including 90-100 vehicles per hour, into this constrained environment without a true operational analysis is deeply concerning. The inclusion of a 260-space underground parking structure and a multi-truck loading dock reflects the scale and intensity of usebeing introduced.
The rebuttal report also highlights:
• A documented 620-foot vehicle backup at the southbound left-turn lane at Hill and Del Mar— meaning cars routinely stack up for more than two football fields.
While the overall intersection was given a passing grade, this specific movement is already overwhelmed and regularly spills back into the roadway. • The absence of a proper traffic operations or microsimulation analysis for closely spaced intersections, where congestion and spillback are known to occur. • Using "General Office" modeling assumptions rather than a Research & Development land use category may underestimate trip characteristics andpatterns.
A generalized growth-rate methodology that does not reflect real-world traffic impacts from recently approved developments.
It is highly unusual that private residents and parishioners would feel compelled to retain their own licensed traffic engineer simply to understand what they experience daily ontheir own street. This step was not taken lightly. It was taken because what parents and neighbors see every day — long queues, blocked driveways, unsafe passing, and intersection spillback— did not appear to be reflected in the City's conclusions.
I have also been informed that none of the substantive issues raised in the independentrebuttal were directly addressed in the City's response. That lack of engagement is concerning, particularly given that the City recently adopted updated traffic analysisstandards intended to strengthen transparency and analytical rigor. Those policiesshould be applied consistently and meaningfully here.
Importantly, the rebuttal proposes a reasonable and feasible alternative: redirecting primary project access to Green Street, a higher-capacity roadway, rather thanconcentrating all access onto Holliston Avenue. This adjustment would materially reduce conflict with school traffic and pedestrian activity. Quite frankly, Holliston Avenue cannot safely absorb what is being proposed.
This is not opposition to innovation, land rights, or responsible development. It is aboutensuring that development is analyzed honestly, mitigated appropriately, and designed to protect children, pedestrians, and neighborhood streets.
Before approving this project, I respectfully ask that the City:
1. Require a full traffic operations analysis, including microsimulation of the Hill/Del Mar/Cordova corridor.
2. Analyze traffic during actual school peak hours.
3. Reevaluate trip generation assumptions specific to R&D land use.
4. Redesign access to Green Street to avoid concentrating traffic on Holliston.
5. Fully acknowledge and address the existing two-football-field vehicle backup at Hill and Del Mar before adding more traffic to an already strained corridor.
Good planning requires looking beyond average numbers and examining what is trulyhappening on the ground. Pasadena's 140-year legacy of thoughtful planning is whatmakes this city exceptional. That legacy should not be compromised by overlooking legitimate safety concerns.
The safety of children, parishioners, and neighbors must remain paramount. Once safety is diminished, it is extraordinarily difficult to restore.
I respectfully ask you to slow down, require a more complete analysis, and ensure that this project fits the neighborhood it is entering.
Thank you for your consideration and your commitment to community safety.
Respectfully,
Erika Foy

Dear Mayor and City Council,
I oppose the proposed project at 1364 East Green Street and respectfully urge the City Council to deny it as designed.I write not only as a Pasadena resident, but as someone who has been a parishioner at St. Philip the Apostle for 27 years and currently serves on the St. Philip's School Board. My family's roots — and my heart — are deeply planted in this neighborhood.
Pasadena is more than buildings and zoning maps. It is tree-lined streets, historic homes,neighborhood churches, and schools where generations of children grow and learn. St. Philip'sChurch itself is part of that legacy — designed by renowned architect Roland Coate, whose workhelped shape the architectural character of our city. It stands not only as a place of worship, but as ahistoric and cultural landmark within our community.
I regularly attend either the morning Mass or the lunchtime Mass. These quiet moments of prayerare part of the rhythm of daily life for many of us. It is difficult to imagine how regular worshipcould continue uninterrupted during years of heavy construction immediately adjacent to the church and school. The noise, vibration, traffic, and dismption would directly affect the spiritual life of our parish and the daily experience of our students.
Pasadena has long prided itself on protecting residential neighborhoods from incompatible commercial encroachment. That commitment has preserved the livability, human scale, and character that define our city. For that reason, I struggle with the fact that a project of this scale wasadvanced immediately beside homes, a church, and a school. It feels inconsistent with the veryprinciples that have guided Pasadena's planning for generations and your own commitment as elected officials.Growth is not the enemy. But it must be thoughtful, measured, and respectful of context.
Developments that prioritize maximum height and density over neighborhood compatibility change not just skylines, but the feel of our streets and the tmst residents place in the planning process. 1 I respectfully ask you to protect our neighborhoods, honor our architectural heritage, and ensure that Pasadena's future reflects the stewardship that has long made this city special.
Thank you,
Erika Foy

From: SANDRA LEE BALLATORE -
PASADENA, CA 91106
TO: Pasadena Design CommissionRob Tyler, Julianna Delgado, Lucinda Over, Joe Feinblatt, David Di Cristofaro, Brian Knight, Srinivas Rao,Marie-Claude Fares Apparently not one person on the City of Pasadena Design Commission, the Pasadena City Council, the Caltech Planning Committee for the Green Street Project, or Ms. Nancy Moses and the Trammell Crow Company is going to sit, sleep and work within 20 yards of the behemoth that you are planning to squeeze into the very small parking lot across from 107 South Holliston. But I will. I will face it. Daily. For years. I am 84years old, a work-at-home teacher and resident on this residential street for 26 years.
Empty lots north of Green Street all the way to Colorado sit vacant. Why can this amazing "hub for scientific invention" not be built where it will harm no one? This project should never have been approved for this lot. As well, an empty lot at Hill and Colorado needs a building as well. Whatever gave Caltech plannersthe idea that building next to St. Phillips Church and school and across from a nursery school in a residential neighborhood was the perfect place for a massive business building? Clearly, not one of you will hear the noise or struggle through traffic jams on your street, blocked with trucks, cranes, and construction equipment. Not one of you will be awakened at 7 a.m. by pounding jackhammers and throbbing cement mixers and men yelling as if they are standing in your bedroom.
Not one of you will suffer physical and psychological harm due to your neighborhood being ripped to pieces in front of you over many months and then years. And the children trying to read at St. Philips theApostle School, directly adjacent to the deafening construction site? Why is their safety not being considered inthis neighborhood disaster- story? And, the pre-schoolers at the PCC nursery school at the corner that faces this lot? They walk daily up and down Holliston Avenue and play in their schoolyard. Parents drop them off, pick them up — all on Holliston Avenue. St. Phillips parents line up twice daily on Holliston to drop off and pick upstudents and their SUV's jam up Holliston.
Stop this project now. Its placement is inhumane and will hurt the St. Phillips' students and teachers, as well as residents on Holliston Avenue This is a residential environment and it always has been. It must not be destroyed by people who do not live here, do not have students here, and do not worship here. No design 1 changes will change the basic problem here: this little parking lot should never have been considered, much less approved by you for this behemoth.

RE: 1364 E. Green Street (DHP 2025-00037)
Dear Design Commission,My name is Millie Bruce. I am writing on behalf of myself and my husband Thomas Bruce. Weare the proud parents of a current Kindergarten student at St. Philip the Apostle School and parishioner of St. Philip the Apostle Church. I am writing to you today to express my concerns regarding the proposed building at 1364 E. Green Street.
Below is a list of our concerns regarding the new construction of the 1364 E. Green Streetbuilding:1.) Safety during construction. a.) We are very concerned about unvetted personnel coming and going in such close proximity to St. Philip the Apostle School and our child.
b.) We are concerned that the drilling, vibrations, and operation of heavy machinery andequipment will be unsafe for our child.c.) We have extensive concerns for the constructions effect on the air quality during the drilling of the subterranean parking lot. Especially given the recent fires and the potential for soil contamination and dust particles.
2.) Historical and Cultural Preservation of Pasadena.a.) My husband is native of the area, growing up in San Marino, and we are so proud to raiseour son in the Pasadena community. One of the draws to the Pasadena community is that isgrounded in tradition. We are concerned that the proposed building, will not only tower over the highest point of the church and our children's playground, but also that the design will compromise that ascetic of the church, school and neighborhood.3.) Improper Zoning. a.) We were very disappointed to learn that the area has recently been rezoned. Especially,after little or no efforts to alert St. Philip School about the rezoning. We learned that within the city documents there is no mention of the school as an impacted neighbor- only the church. St.
Philip School teaches 550 students, with kids as young as 4-years-old being taught yards from this proposed new project, which the rezoning paved the way for.
In closing, we expect our city officials to value the safety of our most vulnerable community members - which includes our son. We understand that Cal Tech is a intrinsic part of our community and believe that innovation only improves our community, but disagree that this project considers the full impact to our community - specifically the children attending St. Philip the Apostle School. We strongly object to the building of 1364 E. Green Street.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Millie and Thomas Bruce

Dear Mayor and City Council,
On behalf of St. Philip the Apostle Church and School, we are submitting the attached architectural drawings and contemporaneous newspaper clippings documenting the work of Roland Coate,theoriginal architect of St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church, for inclusion in the administrative record forthe proposed development at Green Street and Holliston Avenue.These materials provide clear evidence of the architectural authorship and historic significance of the church campus. The Environmental Review failed to recognize that Roland Coate was the originalarchitect of the church and did not analyze the implications of his authorship in determining whether the campus qualifies as a historical resource under CEQA Guidelines §1 5064.5. Architectural drawings and contemporaneous newspaper documentation confirming Coate's authorship are now being formallysubmitted for the record. Because the significance of a property's architect is a central factor in historical resource evaluation, this omission renders the historical resources analysis incomplete.
Given Mr. Coate's recognized architectural Legacy in Pasadena and Southern California, the failure toevaluate his authorship directly affects the adequacy of the City's CEQA review and may have resulted in an incomplete assessment of impacts to a historical resource and its setting.
Accordingly, we formally request that:
1. The attached materials be incorporated into the official project file and administrative record;
2. The City conduct a supplemental historical resource evaluation that includes analysis of Roland Coate's authorship and the church campus under CEQA Guidelines §§15064.5 and15126.4:and
3. If warranted by that analysis, the environmental document be revised and recirculated to ensure full compliance with CEQA prior to any further discretionary approvals.
We respectfully request written confirmation that these materials have been received and that the City will address this issue in its environmental review.
1 Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
In Christ,

CiTY OF PASADENA
February 19, 2026Dear Members of the Pasadena City Council:I write in support of the proposed Caltech Innovation Center at 1364 East Green Street,in the context of Appeal # DHP2025-00258. This project represents an important step forward for the neighborhood and the City of Pasadena, and I urge the Council to approve it at the earliest possible time.
After thorough discussion and approval by the Design Commission, the plan for the Innovation Center is well-matched to the Green Street location. The site has for many years been an unattractive surface parking lot — contributing little to the neighborhood's vitality, walkability, or tax base. Replacing it with a hub for technology companies, many of them Caltech spin-offs, will transform an unproductive eyesore into a living, working asset for the City.
The economic benefits of the project are compelling. Technology-sectorjobs are amongthe highest-paying in the regional economy. The companies that are expected to occupythe building will generate tax revenue, attract talented workers who shop and dinelocally, and strengthen Pasadena's identity as a center of innovation. Caltech spin-off companies have a record of growing into significant employers. This project gives thema place to take root in our community, rather than migrating to other cities.
I am aware that some community members associated with the nearby church and school have raised concerns about construction noise, pedestrian and student safety, and traffic congestion. I respect those concerns, and I believe they are sincerely held. At the same time, I am confident that our partners at Trammell Crow have the experience and skill needed to address worries about construction noise, and I believe thatreplacement of a vacant lot with a well-managed innovation center will improveneighborhood safety. The required traffic studies have been completed. It is my sincere belief that the innovation center will be a net benefit to the church and school, with advantages that include expanded options for parking and enrichment activities forstudents if the school wishes to pursue them. We will strive to be good neighbors.
This project affords Pasadena an opportunity to build on the presence of Caltech in a way that benefits the East Colorado neighborhood, the City, and the broader economy ofthe San Gabriel Valley. I urge the Council to approve this project, and to send a clear California Institute of Technology Page 2
signal that Pasadena is open for the kind of thoughtful, high-quality development that isessential to its future.Thank you for your service to our community and for your careful consideration of thisimportant project.
Sincerely,
^

Pasadena's City Clerk's Office, Office
100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S228
Pasadena, CA 91106
Dear Commission Members, Ms. Nancy Moss of Trammel Crow, Pasadena City CouncilMembers, Mayor Gordo:
Apparendy not one person on the City of Pasadena Design Commission, the Pasadena City Council, the Caltecli Plannmg Committee for tJie Green Street Project, or Ms. Nancy Moses and the Trammel Crow Company is going to sit, sleep and work within 20 yards of the behemoth that you are planning to squeeze into the very small parking lot across from 107 South Holliston. But I will. I \nll face it. Daily. For several years. I am 84 years old, awork-at-home teacher and resident on this street for 26 years.
Empty lots north of Green Street all the way to Colorado sit vacant. Why can this amazing "hub for scientific invention" not be built where it will harm no one? This project should never have been approved for this lot. As well, an empty lot at Hill and Colorado needs a building. Whatever gave Caltech planners and you people the idea that building next to St.Phillips Church and school directly across from a nursery school was the perfect place for a business buildmg far too big for the tiny street on the west and the neighborhood itself? Clearly, not one of you will hear the noise or stmggle through traffic jams on your street, blocked with trucks, cranes, and construction equipment. Not one of you will be wakened at 7a.m. by pounding jackhammers and throbbing cement mixers and men yelling as if they arestanding in your bedroom.
Not one of you will suffer physical and psychological harm due to your neighborhood being ripped to pieces in front of you over many months and then years. And the children Uying to read at St. Philips the Apostle School, which is directly adjacent to the deafening constructionsite? Why is their safety not being considerect at all in this neighborhood disaster- story? And, the pre-schoolers at the PCC nursery school at the comer that faces this lot? They walk daily up and own Holliston Avenue and play in their schoolyard.
Stop this project now. Its placement is inhumane and will hurt the St. PhiIIips' students and teachers, residents on Holliston Avenue and nursery school children at Holliston and Green Streets. This is a residential environment and it always has been. It must not be dtetroyed;j by people who do not live here, do not have students here, and do not worship here. No -^design tweaking will solve the coming disaster: this 93,539 square-foot corporate researchbuilding. It must go ekewhere./ ^ ; 1—,CCT
