One of the lessons behind the Buzz Oates warehouse on the Giovannoni site is the stress this development has on Wildife Habitat. There were lawsuits, lots of testimony from concerned residents, and even an initiative that was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The City of Vallejo has filed a lawsuit now questioning the integrity of the back story of Measure K and whether the City of American Canyon can adopt an initiative that is applicable to only one project. This has all been contentious and soul-grinding. However, what we're really talking about here is the toll all this development is taking on our natural resources, wildlife habitat and of course, adding to the carbon emissions that we are supposedly trying to cut down. I have asked Buzz Oates whether they'd consider planting the landscaping in native plants, including pollinator plants, native trees and sedges. I provided them with a plant list, asking that they eliminate ornamental trees and flowers as much as possible and restore whatever areas possible to enhance the possibility of some biodiversity survival. I was told "we'll look at this and pass it on to uor landscape architects." That just makes sense, doesn't it? Could the planning commission, in future discussions with developers, bring up the issue of native landscaping as an alternative to the ornamental plants that are currently sterilizing local landscapes? There are wildlife benefits to native plants, less upkeep and the small step in the restorative possibilities of the nature destroyed would be a win, rather than a total loss. Perhaps this could be an item of discussion on your agenda. Can American Canyon planning commissioners ask developers to implement native plantings and provide a list of "appropriate" plantings for the regionn?
