Open Letter to the Berkeley City Council: br Land Use Planning, Processes and Enforcement in the City of Berkeley Category: Public Comment from The Berkeley Daily Planet

The Berkeley Neighborhoods Council is not anti-development, anti-housing or anti-business, we are pro-people. These concerns have been expressed over a long period of time, mostly at meetings of the Zoning Adjustments Board (ZAB) and on appeals to the City Council. Today, they have grown to the extent that there are increasing calls for a holistic approach
