ACTION ALERT!

The ongoing effort at both city and state levels to urbanize our neighborhood is back. The new "City of Yes" proposals would eliminate single-family zoning, which would be the death of Bellcourt. This new proposal would allow, among other things, smaller lot sizes, larger and taller homes, and apartment buildings on what are now single-family lots. It would allow developers to build with few restrictions, without regard to green space, parking, density, or our quality of life. The "yes" in the City of Yes is yes to overdevelopment, and the Bellcourt Civic Association is adamantly opposed. See our ALERTS page for our position statement, contact information, and suggested wording for your emails to elected officials.
