[Neighbors] Update on zoning for new building at Aliso and Copper

[Davis, Pat via Neighbors_nobhill-nm]

Tandi, I wanted to share with this list what I had shared with you in response to your earlier email.

Tandi, I have requested both our council planning staff (which does not do plan review but can research existing zoning rules) and the administration's planning department review the permit and application to ensure both were handled appropriately.

We can't stop construction with a permit in place, but if a problem is found the planning department can take action based on those findings.

The expedited review will help us get that done to answer those questions quickly.

Hi Tandi,

Is this the building that is already under construction at that location?  I have been by there several times and it does not look all that sturdy!  I sure would not want to be on a floor above the two already in place.

Hi neighbors -

Another neighbor, Veronica Salinas, went and talked to Andrew Garcia, head of Code Enforcement at the Zoning Dept yesterday about this new building which was permitted for 4 stories even though zoning is limited to 3 stories.

His response was vague and he said they are "looking into it".

We are wondering if there is a member of the community who is an attorney, who would be willing to write a letter to the Zoning Dept requesting that the project be halted until the issue is resolved.

Anyone able to do that?  Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like.

Thanks so much for all the supportive responses too.  Please keep up the pressure to let the city know that we intend to hold them accountable for their decisions.  That's the only way to improve the functioning of local governance.

Tandi
