Dear Council Members, 

This case, which has involved the YWCA’s request for a zoning change from MF33 to C-2NA CD with a Conditional Use for a Human Service Campus, has been one that has been contentious and rushed and has often lacked the meaningful public input of the near neighbors to the project. In a recent neighborhood meeting, residents requested a rescheduling of this case so that they understand and have input on the restrictions before they can support. This does not seem too much to ask. 

Having support from and working with community has been the stated goal of the YWCA and giving residents more time to give support can only help the YWCA’s project as they seek resident input in future decisions. Giving residents more time will  build trust and cooperation. 

We request that you reschedule the vote on agenda item #44 until the next council session to give residents more time to understand and give meaningful input on the restrictions for a covenant before they support.
