Did you sign petitions because you were you told that bulldozers are going to destroy your neighborhood if you don’t sign? You might have been misinformed!
The reality is that the zoning updates recently passed by city council are designed to:
* Create tighter limits on building size in residential areas
* Add new protections for parks and birds
* Increase environmental sustainability incentives
* Legalize more housing variety like duplexes and other starter homes to improve overall housing affordability for working class people, young families, and seniors looking to downsize
The petitions aims to block implementation of these updates and send the issue to the ballot - all while costing taxpayers as much as $300,000 for a special election.
Let’s keep our zoning updates! If you want to remove your name from the petition, IT JUST TAKES A MINUTE, BUT YOU NEED TO ACT FAST! Just write an email to the Lakewood City Clerk at [email protected] including your full name and address, and say that you want your signature removed from any petitions currently being considered.
