Here is an important initiative to sign that The Housing for People group has put together to help Santa Cruz from having a large increase of very tall 12-story buildings. Here is what the initiative is requesting:

The Housing For People initiative will:
1.) Increase the affordable housing ratio to 25% in the City of Santa Cruz, as the City Planning Commission recommended. Increase available low-income housing, so family members, low and moderate-wage earners, youth, and elders can continue to live here. This initiative will increase affordable housing by 25% in all new development with over 30 units.

2.) Take back the resident's right to vote on the city design. We value thoughtful, environmentally-sensitive city design. If a developer wants to exceed the community-created height and density limits, it would need a vote of the people.

Petitions are available to sign this Sunday, August 6 from 3-5 p.m. at 719  Fairmount Ave., Santa Cruz, next to John Franks Park.

Spread the word to come and sign the petition. We need everyone's help.
