Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood CouncilResolution on Inclusionary Zoning Motion made to adopt the first two paragraphs of the Position Paper as a resolution: The NWSPNC compliments both Council members Garcetti and Reyes and the authors of “Housing for All: Fair Share Program” for their mandatory and voluntary Inclusionary Zoning proposals, respectively. We agree that the provision of affordable housing, particularly for moderate-income levels, is of vital concern for the City of Los Angeles and the community of San Pedro. Nevertheless, the NWSPNC cannot support either proposal in their current form. We base our assessment, in part, on the potential impact that they would have on proposed developments for the Northwest San Pedro area. The NWSPNC encourages all parties to the current debate to continue their efforts to work out their differences in a way that combines the best of both proposals. The NWSPNC also encourages both the Mayor and the City Council, as a first step, to establish a blue ribbon task force to recommend the fundamental reform initiatives and long range planning initiatives needed to make Los Angeles more attractive to builders and to provide more affordable housing for all the citizens of Los Angeles. This, we know, will require increased density in some areas, and mixed-use development, but clearly defined, coordinated development plans, with community input, would go al long way in allaying the legitimate concerns local communities have about Inclusionary Zoning.
