Hi all, I’m watching the council meeting from yesterday evening. The “neighborhood associations” and “concerned citizen” groups are very well organized and are showing up in numbers to NIMBY everything into further study, compromise, delay, and denial. One in particular from last night was rezoning case Z-55-22 Johnson St - the 2 acres on Johnson St. between St. Mary’s and Boylan. Their current request is 12 stories on Boylan, 5 stories on St. Marys, with a active use condition fully wrapping all sides of the building, with a concession on bars/nightclubs on the St. Marys side, including no outdoor dining, with 240 additional residential units above current zoning. The “Forest Park” folks showed up and asked for the 12 story portion to go down to 8 (because…character? shadows?) which would eliminate over 100 dwelling units from the proposal, which I’m sure absolutely kills or severely dents the Pro Forma of the project. Council deferred it to next meeting April 4th. I propose a meetup at this council meeting to speak in favor of the applicant’s proposal, and any other rezonings that are on the agenda. All we need is attendance, and 1 spokesperson to go up and speak in favor of the project and ask for all citizens in the room who are in favor to stand. It will go a long way with council in giving them courage to vote in favor of projects if there are smiling faces in the room agreeing with them. Who’s with me? ---

It is always those that are against that show up…and so it is easier to give them what they want. Most people either don’t care or are in favor but they don’t tell the Council this. I’ve found it helpful to also do emails to the Council. Some people may want to do that too.
