I too disagree with the proposed building heights. Attention Pat Davis, if you are really a progressive you will listen this time to us and take a stand with our community ! Thank you, Sally Beers

Thank you for the information and we also oppose the proposed building height changes. We knew this was one of Berry's goals for ART - to let the developers change Central into another downtown - but worse.Sara & Ron Friederich

Hi Tandi, Thank you for summarizing these three major building height changes being proposed in the IDO. You are absolutely correct about changing the landscape/sightscape of Central in Nob Hill. I strongly support your position and oppose the proposed changes you describe. Ron Halbgewachs

Hi neighbors, I'm sure you've all seen the updates from Gary and others about the proposed changes in building heights in Nob Hill.
I wanted to summarize them because sometimes all the language in the codes can be hard to understand. Here are three major changes that could dramatically change the streetscape in Nob Hill: 1. The first change is to raise the existing building height limit from 39' to 45'. That would include all blocks along Central in Nob Hill from Girard to Aliso.
2. The second change is to add an additional 20' to the height limit in the areas near ART stations. In Nob Hill that includes the stations at Bryn Mawr and Solano. This would raise the height limit from the proposed 45' up to a 65' (a five story building). The increased height zone would include a block in either direction (East-West) from the station. So this would apply along Central from Aliso to Hermosa, and Richmond to Wellesley. *Pat Davis, maybe you can comment - has the additional height has already been nixed for the Bryn Mawr station? In any case it is still being proposed for the Solano station zone.
3. The third change is to allow the additional 20' height within 660' of the Washington station. This would cover Morningside to Monroe. So the majority of East Nob Hill could be built up to five stories. Also, the proposal includes another 12' for any "Workforce" projects for a grand total of 77' allowable building height! That's at least a six story building.
Here's what is needed: Please reply to this email with your feedback on these proposals before this coming Wednesday. Also, please tell our councilman Pat Davis what you think! His email is: patdavis@cabq.gov. I think he reads these neighborhood emails too.
As our representative it's up to Pat to help make the final decisions for our neighborhood, and without your input he won't know what the neighborhood prefers. This is easy, you don't need to go to any meetings, just reply to this email and/or email Pat. If you do feel strongly and wish to go to the meeting to add your voice, it will be August 16th in the evening. Please contact Gary Eyster for more info at: meyster1@comcast.net. Thanks! As I have written before, I think these building heights are completely out of character for Nob Hill. They do not fit the historic architecture or human-scale texture of the neighborhood, and they are unnecessary. The only people who benefit are developers. Three stories is a good limit for any commercial development along Central. I do support increased density to help small local businesses survive, however it has to be done with respect for the existing neighborhood. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Tandi Hufnagel, Aliso NE
