Dear City of Pasadena City,
As a Pasadena resident, I write with comments about the implementation of Senate Bill 79 (Wiener), the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act, on Monday's agenda.
Pasadena has a severe housing shortage, that is driving up rents and punishing working Pasadenans, with median rents of $2,265, according to Census data, and a median home sale price of $1.3 million, according to Redfin. That is why I respectfully urge that you limit exemptions based on existing zoned capacity. I do not oppose deferrals for R-12 zones, but, In solidarity with Abundant Housing LA, I urge you to reject deferral of R-16, R-32, R-48, RS, and the specific plan areas. Allowing more development in neighborhoods already zoned for reasonable housing density will support walkability and economic vitality by allowing additional development in these zones.
Even in areas that may already allow for taller buildings, it is imperative that Pasadena allow SB 79 to take effect, with limited exceptions, to allow builders to choose which program better suits a given project and allow more projects to be financially feasible. Most importantly, this will help Pasadena meet the needs of residents and community members, while furthering badly needed progress on housing and environmental goals.
Sincerely,
Lissette Rodriguez
