SAMPLE LETTER:

Case file CPC-2023-7068-CA:

Dear Planning Department,

I support the CHIP Ordinance June 2024 draft that rezones our commercial corridors while protecting single-family neighborhoods, Historic Districts/HPOZs and Rent Stabilized Units from being rezoned.

Please save Single Family, RSO’s and Historic Neighborhoods. They are some of the City’s greatest assets and the reason people move to and stay in Los Angeles.  By rezoning underutilized adjacent commercial corridors to allow for more housing we can create vibrant communities for everyone, without destroying what we already have. Data shows that we can protect our existing residential and historic areas and still meet affordable housing needs. Many of our communities have worked hard to show where more housing could be added in each of their neighborhoods, answering the Mayor’s call  to solve the housing crisis by having “skin-in-the-game”.  I strongly recommend that the City Council approve the current Planning Department’s proposed revisions to the Housing Element and CHIP program.
