Mayor Victor Gordo and Members of the Pasadena City Council:

I am writing in support of Agenda Item 21, the proposed delayed implementation ordinance for SB 79.

I live about 1/2 mi north of the Alien Station. I am very concerned about the potential damage to a neighborhood that historically has been a working class neighborhood of single family homes. Today it has a charm that includes older home owners and newer families moving in. Its not a rich neighborhood but it includes many smaller historic English Spanish and French revival homes.

We are not however a historical designated area.

I support efforts to increase housing opportunities near transit and believe Pasadena can continue to be a leader in addressing housing needs. I appreciate the City's thoughtful approach to evaluating how SB 79 may affect Pasadena's historic neighborhoods, landmarks, and historic districts.

Pasadena's historic resources are an important part of our community identity, local economy, and quality of life. Once historic buildings are lost, they cannot be replaced. The City's proposed phased implementation strategy provides time to better understand potential impacts and develop appropriate local policies while still complying with State law.

I also appreciate the City's ongoing advocacy for additional historic resource protections through AB 2576 and encourage continued efforts to strengthen those protections.

Thank you for your leadership and for supporting a balanced approach that advances housing goals while preserving the historic places that make Pasadena unique.

Sincerely,
Chris Equihua
District 2
