Important Uptown Planners meeting tomorrow
Joyce Beers Community Center 6pm Tuesday evening…
1.) An update on the proposed 65-foot interim height ordinance for Uptown. Bill Anderson, the acting Director of the City’s Planning and Community Development Department, will discuss what the Mayor’s Office is suggesting for a proposed ordinance. The Interim Height Task Force and other interested community members will have the 
opportunity to comment and suggest revisions or alternative approaches; and 2.) At present there are over a dozen potentially historic structures in Uptown threatened with potential demolition (examples shown). All these homes are listed on the draft Uptown Historic Survey — however, this has not prevented the City from issuing demolition permits without any public notice. Recently, two Mission-styled homes located on Third Avenue were demolished before community members had time to mobilize and intervene to preserve the buildings. A motion has been proposed for the approval of Uptown Planners requesting an explaination of how this happened. Help save our history!
