| Supervisor Mark Luce, Napa County and President of ABAG |
On January 17, 2012, both my opponents voted to designate parts of the City of Napa as “Priority Development Areas” for housing in the Bay Area. This will require that the City zone for significantly more housing in the future. I oppose this designation as it is contrary to our efforts to limit housing growth in our community.
As the name implies, a "Priority Development Area" (PDA) is an area designated to receive a greater allocation of the Bay Area's housing in return for the promise of more transportation funding. It is expected that over half of the Bay Area's housing units will be allocated to PDAs.
Why won't our District One Supervisor Susan Adams, admit that the Marinwood Priority Development Area is a massive scheme to turn all land East of Las Gallinas into a dense urban corridor?
Marinwood-Lucas Valley in the future?
Marinwood PDA for Urban Growth will bring 1500 to 4000 housing units to all land east of Las Gallinas. Supervisor Susan Adams has confirmed that she supports minimum densities of 30 units per acre in this area but lower densities elsewhere.
Why won't Supervisor Susan Adams tell us why she recommended the Marinwood PDA while serving on the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)?
Why has Mark Luce, ABAG fought a PDA in his hometown of Napa?
