Dear Neighbors,
On Thursday, the City Council approved the second of three readings of the Land Development Code (LDC) revision on a 7-4 vote, with Mayor Adler, Mayor Pro Tem Garza, and Council Members Casar, Ellis, Flannigan, Harper-Madison, and Renteria voting in favor of the rezoning map and code.
While I am disappointed with this outcome, please know that I value the compelling ideas and concerns many of you expressed though calls, emails, and testimony before Council. The context-sensitive input of those who live and work in District 9 is critical in this process, and your time and continued participation matters.
In the coming days I will send out more details about what amendments passed on second reading. For now, I invite you to view the video of yesterday’s Council meeting
here
; my closing remarks begin around the 7 hour, 48 minute mark.
The Mayor indicated that he wants to schedule the third and final reading on the LDC in late March.
I urge you and your neighbors to stay engaged. We need your voices.
Please reach out to my
office
with questions or comments, and many thanks for your continued involvement.
All the best,
Council Member Kathie Tovo
District 9
