The zoning changes being proposed will have significant impacts on the lives of those living
in these neighborhoods. Because of this, people are concerned, and both want to betterunderstand what is being proposed, and want to have an opportunity to voice their opinions
on the proposed changes.
I suggest that before the Community Development Department and/or Board adopts finalchanges to the new zone designations, that a representative of the Department/Board meet
with each neighborhood association to explain the proposed changes, and to get feedback onthe zoning changes proposed for that neighborhood.
It is also in the Community Development Department/Board’s best interest to have
community members make informed comments on these proposals, rather than reactingemotionally to proposals they don’t fully understand. This would help to diminish the
unpleasant meeting atmosphere that occurred at this past week’s Community DevelopmentBoard meeting.
