Dear Mayor Paul and members of the City Council,
I urge you to send a strongly worded letter of objection to the California Senate to reject the consideration and passage of SB 827 which would grossly deprive the rights of city governments throughout the state to plan, regulate and manage certain developments near those vaguely defined "transit centers" or "bus stops" with "frequent stops."
This would not only violate the zoning rights of local governments, which is a part of the bedrock of our decentralized democracy dating back even before the U.S. Constitution was written, but also give the unlimited opportunities to unaccountable developers to define and develop housing units that might cause a humongous amount of environmental harm, especially traffic congestion and air/water pollution, than good without legally required CQEA evaluation and mitigation and proper check and balance enforced by the local authorities.
Please send our collective objection to Sacramento and join the California League of Cities and other cities across the state to fight the unwarranted imposition from the Capitol by all means necessary.
Thank you for your attention.
