URGENT CALL to ACTION: If you are a resident of the City of San Diego, we NEED your voice TODAY to the CA Coastal Commission, to postpone a request in one of its Agenda Items for its Meeting this Wednesday in VENTURA, which would decrease the areas zoned and permitted for Emergency Shelter by 98%! Please email and/or call: Karl Schwing, Deputy Director SD. Karl.Schwing@coastal.ca.gov (619) 767-2370 Deborah Lee, District Manager SD. Deborah.Lee@coastal.ca.gov Phone: (619) 767-2370 PLEASE bcc: marthasullivan@mac.com to let us know you acted! THANK YOU to Katheryn Rhodes for staying on top of this for us! And THANK YOU for helping! VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Dear Members and Staff of the CA Coastal Commission: As a resident of the City of San Diego, I ask that you please postpone the portion of Item W26d Part B on your upcoming Agenda this Wednesday, March 8th in Ventura, regarding the City of San Diego's Zoning for Emergency Shelter until the next CCC Meeting, which is already scheduled in San Diego County on May 10-12, 2017. The proposed changes to the City of San Diego's zoning for Emergency Shelter reduce the areas pre-approved Ministerially by Right and Zoned for Homeless Emergency Shelter by 98%! Postponing the portion of Item W26d dealing with Emergency Shelter until the CCC's scheduled May Meeting in San Diego will allow Homeless People and their Advocates to provide Public Testimony to the CCC showing the Discrimination and ongoing violations of Federal Civil Rights, the Fair Housing Act and HEARTH Act by the City of San Diego against poor people. This proposed Municipal Code and Zoning Amendment for Homeless Emergency Shelter will NOT provide enough candidate areas to shelter the several thousand Homeless People in San Diego, which has the 4th-largest population of homeless people in our nation. Therefore, it is useless. Although Homeless Advocates provided testimony on this issue to the San Diego Planning Commission, the San Diego City Council's Smart Growth and Land Use Committee, and the San Diego City Council -- the City of San Diego never notified us of the upcoming CCC hearing in Ventura. Please honor this sincere request for due process during this Homelessness Crisis in the City of San Diego. Sincerely, [NAME]
