City Council votes for IHO
For over two years the Uptown Independent Task Force united the community
and worked to get an Interim
Height Ordinance (IHO) passed for 92103. Tuesday
afternoon, July 8th, the City Council supported it with a vote of 6-1.
A stream
of neighbors and business owners voiced their support of the ordinance following
appearances by State Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña and both candidates
for Council District 3, Stephen Whitburn and Todd Gloria. Dozens of Mission
Hills and Hillcrest residents showed up and spoke up with “little
green signs” saying IHO —
YES.
After almost two hours of public testimony councilmembers Frye, Hueso,
Maienschein
& Young followed the lead of Toni Atkins motion and Kevin Faulconer’s
second by voting 6-1 in favor of the ordinance. The lone hold out, Jim Madaffer
was not satisfied with Planning Director William Anderson’s responses
and withheld his vote of support.
Hillcrest Town Council celebrates a great day!
The HTC held a fabulous social after the City Council vote to celebrate
the Interim Height Ordinance for our neighborhood. Party food was donated
by Crest Cafe, Baja Betty’s, Kous Kous and It’s a Grind. Thanks
to everyone for creating the neighborhood BINGO game and to all the generous
Hillcrest businesses for donating the prizes.
