It's Not "Planning" It's Social Engineering With The "Not In My Backyard" Approach On Steroids!
Please don't get me wrong on this one. I am all for helping those with addiction and mental problems, but there are better solutions than putting these treatment facilities in neighborhoods.
I've been wanting to write this article for several years now, and since Draper Utah is now facing the same fate it gave urgency to getting this out there. Although my article with video was meant to alert the residents of Sandy City of the schizophrenic decisions their Planning Commission have implemented as they have set to social engineer the community, it was my drive to Draper Saturday morning that set a fire under me to "get'er done"!
As I drove down 700 East past 12300 South I noticed a 4'x8' sign posted on the corner property on Pioneer Road. It alerted residents of an upcoming Town Hall about weather the Draper City Planning Commission should rezone that property from Neighborhood to Commercial Neighborhood. The sign read: "Town Hall Tuesday...Drug Rehab". It set me to doing some research in which I found audio to the Planning Commission Meeting of March 28, 2019. It was unclear from the agenda which portion of rezoning might apply to the property spurring the town hall, but after listening to audio of the 3/28 I found that to agenda item for Ferran Land as noted:
"A request by Troy Ferran to change the land use designation from Residential Medium Density to Neighborhood Commercial. The subject property is located at 681 e. Pioneer Rd. and 12388 S. 700 E. Staff contact: Dennis Workman, dennis.workman@draper.ut.us Application TEXTMAP-517-2019"
In the audio for the meeting a woman stood to present the proposal for rezoning the area/property noted. There was some discussion on roads, traffic and homes that would face the property. The woman told the commission that basically, the two homes would give way to a three story commercial building. The man conducting the meeting cautioned that there the proceedings would proceed without any mention of what business would occupy the property if the rezoning were to be approved, or recommended to the City Council. The woman finalized her presentation with some back and forth among the commission and presenter. I find it interesting that a warning fo not bring up the subject of what business would occupy the property extremely disturbing. It was pretty obvious that the local residents were en-mass attending the meeting that evening. Announcing to those present that their comments mentioning the rehab may be inappropriate at that meeting.
Next, the property owner seeking rezoning was asked to address the commission. Mr. Troy Ferran himself took to the microphone. He explained in very few words that he would appreciate a change of zoning to accommodate the three story Rehab/Counseling Center, and sat down. No questions really from the commission about what kind of counseling would be provided. How many employees, residents or patients they expect to have? If there would be pharmaceuticals dispensed and what types? Would they accommodate inpatient treatment or only outpatient? Etc., NOTHING! The man yielded the microphone as the commission did proceed with public comment. The local residents did the right thing in bringing up the fact that a drug rehab would not be right for the residential neighborhood and brought information forward that accompanies any change to rezoning would such as, road conditions including speed limit, lanes and stop signs and what historically constitutes traffic conditions even as to time of day including difficulties they have entering and exiting their properties now. Some of those who spoke said, "I know we're not supposed to talk about what kind of business will be on the proposed property but", they were right in reminding the commission this business would not benefit their neighborhood, although they have compassion for those who suffer and may need the services. They reminded the commission of the tax on the area that the new High School within a mile of the proposed facility has already been on everyone, causing heavy traffic, increased foot traffic by highschoolers and several serious accidents resulting in overturned cars and vehicles plowing through peoples yards. It was evidence from this meeting that the residents overwhelmingly opposed this rezoning proposal not just because it was a petition for a drug rehab/counseling. One man stood to advocate for the change. The commission finally ended up voting to NOT recommend the change in rezoning to the City Council, but this may have been the spark for the Town Hall.
I applaud those residents that showed up to that meeting to oppose the changes in rezoning, and despite a warning not to mention the planned for business and it's activities, did so anyway, because this should be considered in the decision. They pointed out the fact that this would open the flood gates to eat away at 700 East in Draper and destroy the true neighborhood feel and property values and bring in more crime, as they have seen an increase due to care/senior centers and the freeway corridor on 12300 South where even local doctors have suffered break-ins at home and businesses alike, shared by a local during the meeting. I have to say from experience, they are right! The commission and residents alike presented scenarios of how residential homes could be turned in to businesses peppering the street and force out residential property owners because of the encroachment of rezoning and allowing businesses with multiple levels to populate the area, as has happened with 700 East North of 12300 South where multi dwelling rentals and storage facilities are devaluing the residential property and forcing people out of their homes, which encourages the takeover by commercial entities. THIS is exactly what happened to my area of Sandy City!
In the late 90's UDOT set to widening 700 East which, for the most part, was lined with residential/agricultural property. After taking portions of frontal property for extra lanes and shoulder on the east side of the road homeowners slowly were rezoned out of the area by commercial zoning. Many of the homes there are now businesses. Approximately only 6 of those homes are still occupied by residents, thanks to Sandy City Planning Commission. In the last 5 years local residents have had to stomach the proposed plan of the planning commission to make our residential area the "drug treatment and addiction capital" of Sandy City! First it was A/D Psychotherapy and Clinic to occupy a former home on 700 East 8475 South, then Turning Point 8375 South 700 East, about 50 yards North of A/D. Next, Changes Counseling occupying the former Century 21 Office where a former home stood at 8221 South 700 East. Then came the Common Ground Divorce Mediation Center at 8341 S 700 E who now occupies a former home. Inspiro took over the property on 700 East and 8029 South where a Day Spa set up shop soon after the UDOT project. They have some inpatient facilities toward the rear of the property. It now sports two signs, the Inspiro logo and Collective Recovery (I only provided a facebook link because their website was unsecured), signage. Just going to show you that just because zoning is
approved for one business doesn't mean a tiger can't change it's
stripes! Approximately 6 months ago we go another one, Wasatch Recovery 8221 South 700 East, a new build with residential in the rear. It is unclear at this point as to whether it is inpatient housing or rental units because their website shows bedrooms with beds, and they tell you what to pack when you come. All of this proves that fact that rezoning will ruin your neighborhood in a big way! And, when Sandy City Planning Commission opens the flood gates, look out! But, they could care less about what happens you your neighborhood because those appointed to the commission, they are NOT elected, don't live in your neighborhood. They make political donations to campaigns, (1%). They've got money to spare and they won't be anywhere near this mayhem that brings in the criminal element that seeps into your neighborhood. It was evident from the Draper Planning Commission
Meeting that they were not even that familiar with the site being
discussed, although it is less than a mile from City Hall. I will relate one big common denominator for burglaries in homes and businesses, I can attest, if you are near a Freeway entrance, say within a mile, expect to be burglarized! This is easy in, easy out for thieves and nair-do-wells. Sandy City did not inform the residents or ask their opinion before moving these rehabs in. We had more of a heads up when a local restaurant applied for a liquor license in the 90's!
Like I noted in my disclaimer, I am not against help for the needy. I just think there are better options. Here is one of my suggestions, hatched after the snowball caught speed and grew out of proportion. Locate these facilities, if it be in Sandy City, just off of I-15 in the industrial section. It is easy, quick access off the Freeway because, let's face it, most of the patients are just in for a quick dose of of Suboxone, Methadone, Buprenorphine, or naltrexone/Vivitrol and their out on the road again. It keeps them out of the neighborhoods and their cars off the city streets. I say this because after Operation Diversion/Operation Rio Grande the rehab centers on 700 East in Sandy were FILLED for several weeks with cars spilling out on to the streets. If you were trying to pull out from the East side of the road to access 700 East from the neighborhoods you could not safely see the traffic coming in order to pull out. Vehicles were parked less than 30' from stop signs and overflowing into the neighborhood streets from A/D Psychotherapy and Changes alone because most of these facilities do not have enough parking spots to meet the demand when Law Enforcement decides to do their "round ups". There were people standing outside in large groups waiting to get in for their meds. It used to be you couldn't get a permit to build a business unless you had ample area for cars to park, but now through Agenda 21 Sustainable Development they don't want you driving a car so they've crossed ample parking off the list. It the industrial area there should be parking lots large enough to accommodate this need and your neighborhood won't get "cased" for theft later.
My next solution is this. How about we all wake up to the fact that the CIA on behalf of the United States Government is the heart of the drug trade in America! If we were wise to the fact that they are conducting "phony wars" in places like Afghanistan and Nicaragua to protect their Opium drug trade we could INSIST that they put a stop to this "business" and stop putting our Military's lives at risk and bring them home. If we are wise to these facts many would have to knowledge they need to stay away from these drugs and much of the problem would be solved, because it's their agenda to corrupt society through these dangerous drugs, and the pharmaceutical companies have their own part they are playing in this mess, they are making billions on their Oxycontin/Oxycodone and Fentanyl that is very addictive and the drugs they dispense to quail addiction, let alone their antidepressants! If you are unaware of this agenda I encourage you to dig deeper, find the truth, and tell everyone you know! An article in Psychology Today states:
"More people are dying of drug overdose than any other non-natural cause—more than from guns, suicide, and car accidents. Politicians have held press conferences, formed commissions and task forces, and convened town-hall meetings. Vivek Murthy, the Surgeon General under President Obama (fired by Donald Trump), issued an historic report on America’s drug-use and addiction crises. Pharmaceutical companies have been blamed. Drug cartels. Physicians who hand out pain pills like Skittles".
The Daily Beast reported:
"And unlike fertility centers, which are required by the federal government to publish their success rates, the documentary says rehab facilities have no regulatory oversight, and are therefore able to offer expansive claims about their outcomes".And, this from an article in LIVEScience:
"Addiction in the United States is a disease that has been ignored and stigmatized for far too long, and it will continue to be an epidemic thanks to the failures of government, the medical profession and society at large".
This just scratches the surface without dealing with the source, the United States Government. It's big business and a great way to control the people, disassociate them from their families, asset strip them though purchasing elicite drug and pharmaceuticals and medical treatment and harming and maiming them leading to death for many! This may be a shock to some of you, but they do want to get rid of you! Check out the Georgia Guidestones. Let's stop playing their game!
To sum this up. This stretch of 700 East in Sandy City is LOADED with rehab/treatment centers bordering neighborhoods, bringing down homeowners property values. Bringing crime to the area. Exacerbating traffic problems. They are putting our children at risk as they walk to East Sandy Elementary, Union Middle School and Hillcrest High, all located near these facilities. It is negligence on the part of the Sandy City Planning Commission to have let this happen! And, people should be accountable for their actions. All of these Sandy locations are within less than 1 mile! I'm going to say something radical to some of you, but I don't think any city needs a Planning Commission, they have to much say in individual private property rights and we don't need their social engineering. These people are appointed and not elected and I think things might turn out better without all their control but, you have to remember, they are a employed by the Corporation, and a corporation doesn't care about you! But, yet we let them lord over us, and you know what happens when you're on steroids? You get a big head! They are the vehicle by which Agenda 21 Sustainable Development has been deployed in our country through the American Planning Association. It is vital that we reestablish private property rights in Utah. Join us!
