Ocean View School District has previously provided written comment with its concerns that the buffer sites, although not identified as to where they are located, were to be included in the Affordable Housing Overlay. Our concern is that this would make it difficult to understand the impact to school capacity from these developments. The separation of buffer sites from the Affordable Housing Overlay will allow the public to have knowledge of the location and express any concerns in a public hearing when the Zoning Text Amendment is considered by the City Council. We support the inclusion of this option in the Housing Element. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this issue. Sincerely, ' cc-T:"-te_ GGti Michael Conroy, Ed. D. / On behalf of the Board of Trustees: Superintendent Patricia Singer Ocean View School District Board President cc: Al Zelinka, Huntington Beach City Manager( yandie.Frakes@surfcity-hb.org) Switzer, Donna From: Fikes, Cathy Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2023 4:30 PM To: Agenda Alerts Subject: FW: Items#7 and 19 for tonight's meeting From:Joclyn Rabbitt-Sire<joclynsire@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday,January 17, 2023 1:56 PM To:CITY COUNCIL<city.council@surfcity-hb.org> Subject: Items#7 and 19 for tonight's meeting Dear Mayor Strickland and City Councilmembers, My name is Joclyn Rabbitt-Sire, and I have lived in Huntington Beach for 23 years. Welcome, once again to our new council members, and a hearty welcome back to our continuing members. I would like to address two items on the council meeting agenda for this evening: item #19 concerning OCPA and study session item #7, concerning the Housing Element. First, I would urge you to please vote no on item #19, concerning the move to the 35% Basic Rate in OCPA for all new customers and municipal accounts. As a concerned citizen with children who would soon like to have children, I am very aware of the climate crisis affecting communities everywhere, including across wildfire- scorched and flooded California. It is critical that we lower our city-wide emissions, and the 100% default rate is the best way to do that. Please vote no on this item, and maintain the 100% default rate. As you well know by now, it takes a few clicks or a phone call for customers to opt down to a cheaper rate or opt out altogether. Have more faith in your constituents, and keep the bar raised for responsible action. The other item of concern is item #7, concerning the Housing Element. I would ask that you listen to all the information at the study session this afternoon with ears clear enough to hear the objective facts about this plan. Please remember that you can certify this plan and then contest parts of it through the remaining eight years of the term. Working with the State of California will bring much better outcomes than fighting against it. We have yet to benefit from the past lawsuits, and have lost all too much money in the process. Thanks for your consideration. Regards, Joclyn Rabbitt-Sire HB resident 1
