Key Topics on Agenda
Travis Knudsen will give a presentation on public participation and the public commenting process on LRAPA actions. This agenda item is related to an application for a permit renewal of Seneca Sustainable Energy’s existing Title V air permit, and a revision to an existing permit.
John Faville and Kevin Reed of Northeast Neighbors will discuss a proposed bridge from Green Acres Road to Beaver Street to serve local traffic and ask for SCCO support for this project.
We’ll send out a final agenda next week, but we want to give you a heads up regarding two important topics impacting our area. The meeting will be Thursday, July 7 at 7 PM.
The first topic is regarding an application for a permit renewal of Seneca Sustainable Energy’s existing Title V air permit, and a revision to an existing permit. This application process would move Seneca from what is called ‘Area Source’ Maximum Achievable Control technology (MACT) standards to ‘Major Source MACT standards, ie. a major source of Hazardous Air Pollutants.

The second topic is regarding the proposed arterial bridge that would go from roughly Beaver Street and connect to Greenacres. The discussion will last approximately 30 minutes. A group is asking for a statement of support from the SCCO.
Expect more information and agenda details next Tuesday or Wednesday. For now, please put July 7, 7PM on your calendar.

The River Road-Santa Clara (RRSC) Neighborhood Plan is in the Adoption Phase and the project team is preparing a Neighborhood Plan adoption package, which will include documents and recommendations to help implement the community vision. The Adoption Phase will include community outreach and opportunities for input before a Neighborhood Plan adoption package is recommended to decisionmakers.
A draft of the Neighborhood Plan is now on the project website and ready for you to read! The Neighborhood Plan will provide policy direction, guide City and County staff in developing other work programs and preparing budgets, and calls for continued collaboration from the community. The Neighborhood Plan is supported by the Action Plan, which will help guide implementation of the Neighborhood Plan over the long-term and will require continued coordination and advocacy between the City, County, neighborhood organizations, and community. These draft plans are the result of years of community participation and volunteer hours, capturing the neighborhood vision for the future.
See the Neighborhood Plan Overview document for a short 2-page summary about the Neighborhood Plan and Action Plan.

As we work towards getting the plan adopted, the draft Neighborhood Plan and accompanying draft land use code and proposed zoning will be shared for broader community outreach and engagement this summer. Stay tuned for opportunities to participate and provide input in the coming months.
