Hello Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Commissioners,
I'm writing today in full support of the Centennial Park Neighborhood's Conservation in
Action Resident-led Proposal.
The work the neighborhood has done to organize and advocate is impressive! I believe theirrequest for alternate zoning in the UDC update is appropriate for the following reasons:
It will protect the existing variety of housing types.
R-A zoning will be more likely to conserve mature trees and vegetation (appreciating green
assets).
It will help preserve the Historic homes in the area.
R-A zoning will allow for neighborhood friendly infill over time.
Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing or NOAH will be less likely to be redeveloped.
And it will preserve the existing character of the neighborhood which lies within theNeighborhood Conservation Overlay District or NCOD.
Thank you,
Alison Sweeney
