I am in full agreement that it should apply to all R2b zoning classifications citywide. Problem is most of them are in neighborhoods like yours and mine Wizard. If we want this particular provision to apply in other neighborhoods then the zoning codes would need to be changed from R1 to R2b. The political will to change it would have to be there. I don't even think the city needs the property owners permission to change it. No one can say that an R1 can't be changed to an R2b. I have a single family house and my zoning classification was changed from R1 to R5 in 1999 without a single notice being mailed to my house. I signed nothing asking for my house to be reclassified. I tripped across the information when I was looking up the house next door to me. If someone wanted to, they could buy the slum house next door to me and my house and put up a 3-4 story building and wouldn't need any zoning reclassification to do it. I am not encouraging any interest in that plan. Condo anyone? Barb Lickness Whittier
