Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the City Council,
I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code to express my strong support for the proposed
amendments to the SD-84 zoning code, and specifically the removal of the M1 and M2 industrial use
overlay. These amendments are a long-overdue fix to the decades of incompatible land uses in the
Lacy and Logan neighborhoods. The amendments should also remove the allowable use of public
storage facilities, as these are incompatible land uses for a transit oriented development.
I appreciate that the proposed amendments will not force out any existing businesses currently
operating within the affected areas. Rather, they will create flexibility for business owners to sell their
business and for property owners to re-tenet their buildings with a broad range of businesses. This
will allow for responsible business owners to continue to positively contribute to the neighborhood and
prevent vacant buildings.
These amendments also provide the city with an essential tool to address the bad actors who are
negatively affecting the quality of life in the neighborhood, such as the dump and metal recycling
facilities next to Garfield Elementary School. With these amendments, we can better encourage
responsible business ownership, ultimately improving the quality of life for residents and business
owners alike.
I encourage the City Council to approve these amendments for the benefit of the 1,500 families in the
historic Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, and the city as a whole.
Sincerely,
Phillip Lee
Ward 6
