Meeting: Planning Commission Meeting Item: PUBLIC INPUT: eComment: Hello, I must strongly oppose the proposed opioid-disorder treatment facility at 535 E. 1st Street. My wife and I live in the Palmwood complex, which is directly next door to the address in question. The complex hosts about a hundred units and is easily accessible from the street. I have serious safety concerns related to the treatment center's influx of"approximately 140 total clients...per day" into the area, including as early as 5am in the morning on weekdays, when it is dark and residents are heading to work. Without more information about the proposed security at the new facility, if even 1-2% of the patients decide to stick around after treatment and wander into Palmwood, severe safety issues could occur...particularly for residents who are elderly or of a young age. We have no 24/7 on-site security, as there has previously not been a need. I think it must also be considered that some of the patients will remain in the area before or after treatment. Even if not accessing our next-door residential neighborhood, several hundred people per week would be showing up Monday - Saturday with no clear plan for what happens afterward. Addiction is an often-desperate situation and I would anticipate further safety issues in the immediate area, which features restaurants, shopping centers, and business offices. Thank you for your consideration of this input. View and Analyze eComments This email was sent frc https://granicusideas.com Unsubscribe :m future mailings J 1
