In 1992, the County of Santa Cruz developed a Specific Plan for Boulder Creek. With community input, this plan specifies that the "South Village" area should remain residential, preserving it's current character.
The proposed new recreation center is right in the middle of this neighborhood. It would be a huge building, supplanting existing homes and destroying the character referred to in the Specific Plan.
Read the Boulder Creek Specific Plan and decide for yourself if this project is in line with what it calls out for our area.
