members are heard and considered." Meeting with the residents of adjacent neighborhoods would be a ,^ great way to fulfill that proposal. For Point#1 (Notification via yellow Postcards for Future Rezonings), the residents next to the Neal Property, and apparently the other 20 'housing opportunity sites"selected for the 6th Cycle Housing Element,just received an October 26 yellow card (attached) regarding a November 8th Zoning Administrator meeting for Municipal Code Amendments for these sites. It's great that the City sent out the cards, and we would ask that our June 1st letter and this email be included as comment for this November 8th, 2023 meeting. Unfortunately, this still leaves open the question of why yellow cards were not sent out for any of the previous City Council and Planning Commission meetings regarding the housing element while crucial issues like site selection and density were still open (Point#1 in the letter). In our meeting with Mayor Brown, she did not have an explanation. In our meeting with Vice Mayor Balch, he gave the explanation that since so many sites were under consideration, a large fraction of the City's residents would have to receive cards, which was impractical. That explanation no longer makes sense given that the City just sent out cards for 21 of the 29 sites. We again request the City Council to officially change City policy so that yellow cards are sent out to residents next to sites under consideration for all public meetings regarding the 6th, 7th and future Cycles. Keeping the current practice of only sending out yellow cards once all the crucial issues have been finalized and submitted to the state excludes affected residents from the planning process. That does not befit the City of Planned Progress. •Scanned by Gmail Cr,Tue;Ncv 7,2022 at 3:28 FM igcr Ginzturg >wrcte: Dear PUSD Board, PUSD Superintendent, PUSD Real Estate Agent, City Planning Commission and City Council, This email is a follow up to the attached"Letter from Residents of Neighborhoods next to the Neal Property"sent on June 1st.
