Winchester	Measure B Ballot Argument Read the City Attorney's Impartial Analysis As residents of the City of Santa Clara, we are committed to preserving what we like most about living here – a nice place to live and raise a family where your neighbors share a sense of community. As our community grows, we need to support parks and open space as well as ensuring that our local senior citizens aren’t forced out of the area and away from their families by unaffordable housing. This is why we support BOTH Measures A and B. A YES vote on Measure B will specifically approve the zoning necessary to build the 162 affordable senior rental apartments that are an integrap part of the Santa Clara Gardens project. More than 20 public meetings have been held over the last four years, giving the community an opportunity to discuss this project and offer ideas that have improved the proposal. A YES vote on Measures A and B means that the fenced-off site’s contaminated areas are cleaned up at no cost to the City of Santa Clara. Once retested and certified as safe by environmental regulators, the family homes and affordable rental apartments for seniors will be complemented by open space, gardens and a public park – more than 3 acres altogether. The State of California, which owns this property, has said in writing that if this proposal is rejected, it has no intention of returning the site to agricultural use nor will it give the property to the city or sell the property at a below market price. In fact, the State has made it clear that if this proposal is rejected it would use the site for another institutional use. For more information, visit www.SantaClaraGardens.org. Please join us in voting YES on A and B to support the Affordable Senior Housing, Parks and Open Space that Santa Clara needs.
