Thank you so much to everyone who has already signed on in support!
Some people have asked me for more clarity around what exactly I am asking people to sign on to. Remember that what the City is doing right now is creating its housing plan for the next 8 years, demonstrating, as required by the State, that we have the capacity for 587 new housing units, affordable to households at a range of income levels. So, what I am seeking support for, is a housing plan that would allow for appropriately scaled housing throughout Piedmont. This includes duplexes, triplexes, etc. in the single family residential zones, and moderately-sized apartment buildings along Grand Ave, in Moraga Canyon, and in the city center. With such a plan, we can allow for beautiful new housing development that all neighborhoods can accommodate, meet our housing obligations, and create a more vibrant and inclusive community. That's the gist of it.
Again, this is the beginning - creating our plan and our vision of what Piedmont can be. Let's envision change for the better, and work together to get there. Please continue to share this message with members of your household, your neighbors, and your networks. Thank you.
