DESCRIPTION:Their also issue of building on all dump, next Home Depot already on the 
 dump , it is also right next to the bay\n\nNO TARGET from 
 http://www.mpjc.org/\nSan Rafael City Council\nJoin the KEEP IT LOCAL SAN 
 RAFAEL coalition:\nIn opposition to the proposed Target store in East San 
 Rafael:\nSignificant Traffic Congestion (CO2):\nThe resulting identified 
 traffic jams and clogged arteries for the Canal Neighborhood is a 
 significant, unavoidable impact for which there is NO mitigation 
 available.\nSupport Local, community oriented businesses:\nWhy did we just 
 invest Tens of Millions of Dollars to revitalize the Downtown Business 
 District? To throw that all away for a Target? San Rafael went through a 
 couple of lengthy and successful community "visions" that created a vibrant 
 downtown and a remodeled Northgate Mall. These are challenging economic 
 times why is he City considering destroying what it took so long to 
 build?\nMore Sales Tax ? –\nDon't be fooled, a large increase in sales 
 tax revenue across the board is highly unlikely, more like a shift from our 
 Local Businesses to Multinational Target that takes profit out of the 
 county and state.\nPromised Jobs –\nBuyer beware, these jobs don't pay a 
 living wage and our tax dollars are likely to be supporting employees of 
 Target as most will be part-time and receiving housing, medical and food 
 assistance. Are these the type of jobs that enable people to live and work 
 in San Rafael?\nNo Community Impact Report:\nThere is a vehicle through 
 which the City could perform the kind of comprehensive study that a 
 projects of this magnitude demands. When this was proposed at the Planning 
 Commission, City Staff quickly dismissed it as not being a requirement. 
 Wow, let's take a project that requires us to sacrifice local business, 
 live with abysmal traffic, amend our general plan, perhaps lose revenue and 
 possibly alienate our neighboring cities and just do the bare minimum. Put
