Kenwood Village is currently zoned part agricultural and part single family housing. The City Council tentatively increased the number of housing units on Kenwood Village from the original 60 housing units from years ago to 190 housing units to accommodate high density housing because they needed the numbers to submit to the state. The property owner claimed, "[H]e had 60 single-family homes 'in his brain' for six or seven years for the parcel ... ." Now that the City Council has increased the number of housing units more than three times the original number, from 60 to 190 housing units out of the 284 they originally proposed to increase it to, the property owner suddenly "didn't like the stricture a cap is imposing." If the property owner was fine with 60 units, he should be fine with 190 units. He is clearly being disingenuous.
Regarding building on the property, the property owner even admits the name of the Kenwood Village property came when "his friends would ask, '[w]ho in their right mind would develop that lot? and answer, Ken would." Even the property owner's friends know it is a bad site to build.
The nearest offramp, Glen Annie and Storke Road is already too crowded and Calle Real, a narrow, dangerous street with one lane in each direction has already had multiple fatalities/injuries. Even the City Council has commented on how dangerous that section of Calle Real is.
