this is a bad proposal and council should vote no. 20 stories is too tall and there is not enough parking nor enough roadway. It is crazy to think the folks living in this monstrosity will only use the pulse

Broad Street is doing just fine without being micromanaged. Why not focus your efforts on police reform to prevent further violence against POC and potentially damaging riots on this major thoroughfare?

Some density may make sense, with neighborhood support, but 20+ stories is completely out of scale and is not desireable.

12 stories is enough.

This zoning change will degrade our quality of life on the altar of developer's profits.

Every single neighborhood association adjacent to the areas proposed to be rezoned B-4 OPPOSES the B-4 zoning. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Additionally, the Coalition of eight (8) neighborhood associations cannot get the City Department of Planning and Development Review to provide documents detailing their conversations with developers and land owners about the affected areas. Our Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") requests have been ignored or outrageous fees have been assessed. For example, when they finally DID respond to a FOIA request, the cost to produce the requested documents went from their initial estimate of $411 to over $3,800.

Citizen voice matters. Land use decisions should respect diverse neighborhoods surrounding proposed rezoning. Equity should be incorporated into planning before Council votes.

The planning commission seems to value the wants of developers over what is best for Richmond. Please vote no as a yes vote could do irreparable damage to our city.

The Planning department’s lust for overdevelopment as well as it’s pandering to the lowest echelon of developers and their attorneys will damage the historic and beautiful City. The planning department desperately needs a new, more competent director and staff. Please vote this down as well as the Richmond 300 plan and start over with a re-imagined planning department and real input from the community.

Not against density, but density must work for neighborhoods and not against them. I will note the way planning is being forced on Oregon Hill. https://www.oregonhill.net/2020/09/26/olingers-storefront-canard/

It is shameful that the city planning department is ignoring the input of the affected community: planning at its worse.
I vote no!
