Recently, MSMU has been sending postcards attacking BHA as the School tries to defend a project that will burden our neighborhood with more cars and more activity year-round. BHA has a long history of supporting schools in our area and helping them find REASONABLE solutions to their needs. We would like to do the same with MSMU. That is why we want to set the record straight.
MSMU has a history of doing what it wants without community or City input. For 90 years they have expanded their enrollment, operational use, and physical footprint without mitigating the impacts from the School’s ever-growing operations. The fact that MSMU has been in its location for 90 years, and its graduates work in healthcare fields, does not give it any right to ask for increased facilities and uses that would create a nuisance and significant dangers to the lives and property of thousands of residential neighbors. Yet that is what the Wellness Pavilion Project would do.
Consider these facts taken directly from the City’s Staff Recommendation Report:
* NEW multiple events for up to 400 outside guests per day that would allow an additional 310 guest vehicle trips per day. (p58)
* NEW twelve-week summer camp for up to 200 campers and 40 staff per day that would allow 236 vehicle trips per day during the normally quiet summer months. (p58)
* DAILY vehicle trips allowed to increase from 1,800 to 2,100, based on a traffic study from 2018 MSMU does not want the neighborhood to know about.
* The right to add 700 students at Chalon Campus and not capping long-term enrollment. (pII-12 of DEIR )
That is why, in view of the traffic impacts and the proposed intensification of use in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, we cannot support the current proposal. The Brentwood Community Council (made up of every HOA in Brentwood as well as the business districts) and the Hillside Federation (which includes over 45 organizations), have also voiced their opposition to the Project and its impacts.
The last thing Brentwood needs is MORE TRAFFIC. But unless you voice your opposition to MSMU's Wellness Pavilion, traffic will increase on Sunset Boulevard, Bundy, Barrington, and all the smaller feeder streets north AND south of Sunset. More traffic on Sunset means more traffic on San Vicente Blvd.
