Santa Cruz City Planning Commissioners are set to discuss a proposal to develop a housing complex near a downtown funeral crematorium. The plan proposes a 40-unit high-income housing development as close as 100-feet from the crematorium on the Ocean Street Extension. Several issues at hand include increased traffic hazards on a portion of Graham Hill Road, as well as blocked access for emergency vehicles. City members are expected to discuss a plan to address traffic issues, as well as other concerns such as pedestrian safety and mercury pollution on Thursday November 4th at the Santa Cruz City Council Chambers on Center Street in Santa Cruz.
