HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem No. 19 - Written Communication - Rene RolanderGood Neighbor Policy Notes
This policy should be protecting residents from environmental harm, and setting consistent expectations
jurisdiction-wide. Where was any Environmental Justice provided for in the policy?
1,000 ft away from residential living is not acceptable for any neighbors anywhere. Safety for kids
walking to schools?
Combined emissions of Riverside & San Bernadino/Ontario have the worst quality of air in the entire
United States. And nothing addressed adding protections for neighbors’ health.
The industrial zones in our city were created with residents and business in mind. Heavy Industrial does
not belong anywhere near residential neighborhoods, schools, workforce areas or low income living—
where they do not have a say. To allow Heavy Industrial; 24/7 operations, toxic environments, giant tall
buildings towering over homes, trucking routes on residents commutes is highly unethical next to
residential living. Complete disrespect to residential lives. Lawsuits in the regions have proven this. Solve
the problem: Place these businesses where they are zoned away from where people are raising their
families. Even if they are doing this in other cities doesn’t mean we have to lower our standards for our
families.
Lets say you added some clauses that said no desil trucks and they all have to be Electric. They would be
on the same electrical grid as residents. This clearly is not a good idea. What could go wrong?
The future in AI Logistics Artificial Intelligence is the future of the logistics industry. Read up on this! Any
jobs in LE are good, but reality for the size of these facilities and the damage they provide to the
environment. The jobs are few, not highly skilled and do not generate a lot of taxes! Is that good for long
term growth??
The East Basin, aka Flood Plain. I heard NorthPoint was digging around getting their footings a while ago
and heard they hit water. The vibrations/weight for the trucks 24/7 could greatly jeopardize the areas!
Summerly was engineered to off set any possibility of floods. Will these types of operations create issues
for homeowners? Will homeowners be required now to spend more monies on insurance? How will that
effect the policy?
If the city adheres to follow its current zoning, and finds other businesses that can work within the laws
in place, we don’t need to alter anything. Protecting the residents of LE should be the first priority.
Business belongs where it is zoned. Heavy Industrial does not go with light industrial next to residential
living. We don’t need any MOB style logistics putting harm on our residents for their profit.
We have the right to breathe clean air, relax after working all day outdoors and not hear logistics noises
24/7.
