Petitions – Community Support for Natomas Open Space

Dear SpeakOut! user

To: LAFCo Commissioners and Sacramento City Council RE: Please vote against the Airport South Industrial Project

We are neighbors of the project and concerned citizens from the Sacramento area. We object to the proposed construction of six million square feet of warehouses on 450 acres of open land in Natomas for the Airport South Industrial Project.
This project takes agricultural land and covers it with concrete, warehouses and huge trailer trucks. It will negatively impact the homes and schools nearby with air, noise and light pollution, as well as with increased traffic congestion on I-5 and local streets.
The Draft EIR for the proposed project shows regional impacts: that it will have unavoidable loss of agricultural land, harm our efforts to attain clean air standards, and pose new risks for air travel.
We ask you to vote “NO” on this project. Thank you from the following representatives of the Sacramento Community:

Dear SpeakOut! user

To:Sacramento County Supervisors and Planning Commissioners RE:Please vote against the Upper Westside Specific Plan

We are neighbors of the project and concerned citizens from the Sacramento area. We object to the proposed urban development on agricultural land in Natomas for the Upper Westside Specific Plan.
This project would destroy over 2,000 acres of productive farmland.
We don’t need this development. The housing is not needed, because over 100,000 housing units on similar “Greenfield” sites are currently entitled, and over half of those will still not be built by 2050, according to SACOG’s projections, based on policies, public investments, and real estate demand. We already have excess capacity on “Greenfield” sites.
The Draft EIR does not provide a clear plan for public services and would create significant burdens for the City of Sacramento.
This project would destroy valuable habitat and potentially cause the 30-year old Natomas Basin Habitat Conservation Plan to fail — this would be a massive failure for our region.
We ask you to vote “NO” on this project.
