Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Commissioners and Community Development Staff, I'm writing in
opposition to any expansion of the B-3 zoning district in the UDC update. Particularlyunacceptable is the mid-block boundary change proposed south of the City-owned Stiff
building, which will result in part of the Nationally Registered South Tracy/South BlackHistoric District being upzoned to B-3. When B-3 was expanded on the North side of town it
resulted in the demolition of a significant number of naturally occurring affordable housingunits and the destruction of a residential neighborhood. Do not repeat this on the South side of
Main or anywhere else. No expansion of the B-3, especially into an Historic District. Do notallow staff to incorporate this mid-block boundary change in the updated draft UDC. On
August 19th, please redirect Staff to bring necessary changes to the Growth Policy, and anamendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) in order to remove this area from the
"Community Core" designation. Leave our Historic Districts intact! Thank you,
Holly Scott, MBA, MS, LPC
