Dear Councilmember,
The Westwood Square Neighborhood Association (D5) & Los Jardines Neighborhood Association (D6), held a community meeting on Saturday, March 12th regarding the YWCA zoning case. The meeting was to inform the community of the process and discuss the zoning change that was approved by the zoning commission on Tuesday, March 15th, and to advise on the choices of what is at stake for the neighborhood including discussion on covenants/deed restrictions, and the site plan. The community/ neighborhoods were advised that the YWCA zoning case is scheduled to go to Council on Thursday, March 17th. The community/neighborhoods voted for more time to continue the conversation and to process what was discussed at the meeting regarding the covenants/deed restrictions and the site plan. District 5 & 6 staff were present at the meeting and are aware of this request. We believe that those who are affected by this decision have a right to be involved in the decision-making process. Westwood Square NA & Los Jardines NA are submitting this Request to City Council for a Continuance of two weeks ( till March 31st ) to secure solutions that work for the community. We are hopeful that with this reasonable request we can find a resolution.
Looking forward to your response.
Respectfully submitted,
Velma Pena, President
