Comment:
Among the community map submissions presented that satisfy district mapping criteria is a Minimal Change Map, which only exchanges areas between two districts (D2 & D3) to balance the population, keeping all four (4) of the other districts intact. The population imbalance due to the 2020 census can be adjusted in a straightforward manner simply by swaps between Districts 2 and 3, without effecting other districts and areas of the city. The Minimal Change Map would result in more natural boundaries for District 2 and better respects the natural divisions of El Camino Real and Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road.
Which "Fair Oaks notch" option do you prefer?
(C) Surgical notch (encompassing only Fair Oaks Mobile Home Park)
What is your age category?
50 to 69 years old
What is your family or household annual income?
No response.
What is your race/ethnicity?
Non-Hispanic White
What is your housing tenure?

Sunnyvale voters need fair districts and maps we’ll live with for 10 years. Free of manipulation and gerrymandering of districts for the benefit of some districts over others.
It’s regrettable that broader map options have been excluded from a Top 5 for continued community outreach and survey at this point in time. Disappointing that one or more maps with a minimum of changes from the current 2019 district maps have not continued to be included at this point of the public engagement process. Both the Minimal Change Map and Map 103 were recognized as top significant maps in the Feb 13 Joint Council and Redistricting Commission meeting, as well as during the Feb 13-14 Redistricting Commission Hearing 4 afterwards. Narrowing up to 5 maps was targeted at this point, but only 3, all D3-Centric, maps were offered in this survey when viable additional maps with council and public support are also available.
Considering maps(s) with minimal changes from the current district maps to adjust for the 2020 census imbalance existing between only two districts, D2 and D3, has tremendous benefit for Sunnyvale neighborhoods and other areas of the city relative to the maps defined by the very wide and extensive community engagement process in 2019. Doing so would guarantee the least changes and effects to our existing districts developed through the 2019 process. Sunnyvale has not yet had a chance to go through a complete cycle of council districting with the 2019 maps.

Keeping the Nimitz Neighborhood in D1, as in 2019, will maintain the earlier recognition and respect of the geographic contiguity, neighborhoods / communities of interest and easily identifiable boundaries the Nimitz Neighborhood shares with our neighbors in west / south west Sunnyvale, i.e. west of Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road.
For example, The decades of ongoing traffic and safety issues of Hollenbeck Ave from Fremont Ave to Homestead Road are indivisible from the community of interest of the Nimitz Neighborhood. Serra Park is indivisible from the community of interest of the Nimitz Neighborhood. The recent past tensions between the CUSD school district and Sunnyvale which threatened the joint school/park uses at Nimitz School/Park and Cupertino Middle School, both located in District 1, are indivisible from the community of interest of the Nimitz Neighborhood.
A council representative focused east of Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road and towards El Camino Real will not meet these needs.
A dedicated and undiluted city council representative for all of District 1 west / south west of Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road is required.
