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 theneighborhood has done to organize and advocate is impressive! I believe their request for
alternate zoning in the UDC update is appropriate for the following reasons: It will protect theexisting 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 theexisting character of the neighborhood which lies within the Neighborhood Conservation
Overlay District or NCOD. Thank you,
