This ordinance keeps us IN the housing trap
Vote NO on the draft AHO, and work to repeal the current AHO entirely. If unwilling
to take these steps to get our community out of The Housing Trap at least mandate
the following 3 point plan:
Limit the use of this ordinance to greenfield development where infrastructure
can be properly sized to accommodate the impacts of this much density.
Enlist creative solutions like an Affordable Housing Overlay Zone (AHOZ) and
incentives to local homeowners to create invisible infill in core neighborhoods
to protect historical character and NOAH.
Mandate that developers proposing to use the City’s problematic Cash-In-Lieu
of Water Rights provision (CILWR) provide affordable housing in exchange for
the use of our water! A finite and undervalued public resource. If they bring
water rights they are more than welcome to build all the unaffordable housing
they want. If they want our water, they build affordable housing. This is legal!
