Please sign petition to put a MORATORIUM on SMALL LOTS in Silver Lake, Echo Park & Elysian Valley to stop projects like Black Birds.
PETITION: We the undersigned residents of the Silver Lake - Echo Park - Elysian Valley Community Plan call for the following:
(Please sign if you live or work within the area- See map on the attached photo)
IMMEDIATE MORATORIUM on all projects subject to the SMALL LOT ORDINANCE -Interim Control Ordinance shall be issued by our elected City Councilmembers to halt all Small Lots pending
TINY LOTS = MANSIONIZED HOMES Subdividing one housing lot into 5 or 6 small lots is producing tall, narrow, 3-4 story homes that dwarf adjacent residences.
SMALL LOT DESIGN GUIDELINES Must be re-written to specifically address compatibility with existing neighborhood character; they shall be made enforceable criteria for project approval; they shall align with the Silver Lake – Echo Park – Elysian Valley Community Plan. We want clear provisions to ensure that projects conform to the prevailing height, mass and set back of surrounding homes.
DENSITY LIMITS Adopt a new ordinance that protects hillside lots and narrow, dead-end or undeveloped streets from Small Lot over-development where these limitations exist.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE Must be seated to provide for a community-based review of project compliance with existing neighborhood character.
PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE GROWTH We are not against development. We are for well-designed projects that blend with our neighborhoods to produce new housing opportunities for a range of residents.
WE WANT ENFORCEABLE RULES TO PRESERVE COMMUNITY CHARACTER
