LOOKING AHEAD
Upcoming City Council meetings to attend:
UPDATE AS OF AUG. 13th: The City Council has postponed today’s workshop to Thursday, September 3rd.
The City Council will hold a workshop focused on South SEDA. Although no public comment or vote will be held, show up to demonstrate and hold the City of Fresno accountable.
Time: TBA - please stay tuned!
Location: Fresno City Hall, Floor Level 2
On Wednesday, August 19th, the Fresno City Planning and Commission Council will hold a public hearing on SEDA.
Time: 6:00 pm
Location: Fresno City Hall, Floor Level 2
On Thursday, September 17th, City Council will consider a proposal by wealthy developers to rezone property along Elm Avenue—which would reduce space for housing and small businesses, while adding more polluting industrial uses to an area already overburdened with them. The Southwest neighbors have met and spoken up against this idea—it’s time for us to add our voices to theirs!
At the same Council meeting, but just before the Elm Avenue project, the Council will also consider the Central Southeast Area Specific Plan (CSESP). When it’s ready, this Plan could be good for Southeast Fresno. BUT—the City hasn’t yet completed legal requirements for adopting the plan, and is only pushing it now in a tradeoff deal with the Elm Avenue developers. Let’s be clear with our City Council: we want good planning decisions, not half-baked plans just to make developers happy.
