Re: Public submission for Public Hearing April 22, 2024
(Blanket up-zoning of residential properties to RC-G)
Dear Mayor Gondek and City Councillors,
My name is [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE], and I reside in Meadowlark Park. I am writing you today in strong opposition to the proposed Land Use Bylaw amendment before you on April 22, 2024, seeking a blanket up-zoning of residential properties (including mine) in Calgary to RC-G. I respectfully ask you to vote against this measure following the Public Hearing.
On March 4, 2024, the Meadowlark Park Community Association wrote City Council outlining community concerns with the proposed up-zoning. I agree with the concerns outlined in the Board’s letter and support their recommendations. Please see the attached letter here:
http://www.meadowlarkpark.org/city-rezoning.html
Therefore, I strongly urge all members of City Council to vote against the proposed blanket up-zoning before you on April 22, or at the very least, refer this matter to the Chief Electoral Officer to prepare a plebiscite question on the matter to be decided by voters in the October 2025 municipal election. I also request City Clerk to include this submission as part of Council’s agenda package for the Public Hearing and to include it as part of the public record for this meeting.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
[YOUR ADDRESS]
Cc: President@Meadowlarkpark.org, VicePresident@Meadowlarkpark.org
