Chair Louis asks how corrections align with 2023 South Richmond amendment
Chair Louis asks how the corrective actions are consistent with the 2023 South Richmond Zoning Relief; Todorovic says the 2023 effort targeted pre-1975 vested homes, DCP found three missed sites out of about 700, and the fixes provide homeowner relief.
Okay.
And can you speak further as to how these corrective actions are consistent with the recently enacted South Richmond Zoning Relief Tax Amendment?
Yes.
So the tax amendment from 2023 focused on homes that were built before 1975, because in 1975, any home that existed had
this DOS rule mapped upon it.
And for the past 50 years, I've only been there 10 years, but 40 before me and 10 while I've been there, our office has been asked, why do I have this map on my site?
And we said, well, you know, now we have GIS, now we have softwares to accurately map this, so we will clean this up.
And we got very close.
And there's three sites that we missed.
We, Kari sent a flyer with a QR code to the community board.
We sent an interactive map.
We said, this is the last time.
We're going to do this one more time to clean it up.
And we found three sites out of, I think, 700.
So I think it's pretty good, but, you know, not perfect.
And that's why we're fixing these last three.
And the connection to 1975, again, is to help all the vested homes that were already existing that said, why is this happening to me?
And to provide homeowner relief for modest home improvement and home construction.
Thank you for that.
