GOVALLE/JOHNSTON TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN CONTACT TEAM “Strength Through Unity” August 7, 2024 The Govalle/Johnston Terrace Neighborhood Plan Contact Team continues to oppose the DB90 zoning category proposals to include the new iteration proposing to “conserve and create” live music and creative space bonuses in exchange for degradation of our neighborhoods. In particular, we oppose the conditions that allow developers to pay a fee in-lieu of providing affordable housing on site, adding 30 feet of to the maximum base zoning in areas not designated as opportunity corridors, and the exemptions from minimum site area requirements, maximum building coverage, minimum side, interior yard, and front yard setbacks. We also oppose the modifications and exemptions to set compatibility standards, conditional overlays, and restrictive covenants. We continue to request and support a moratorium on DB-90 until a review of cumulative impacts can be conducted including impacts to the city’s commitment to anti-displacement measures, community-wide benefits, the natural environment of affected neighborhoods, and strain on utilities and natural resources.
