It’s membership renewal time! 
If you love living in our neighborhood and want our community to have a voice at City Hall, please join or renew your membership to NOMA.  (Unless you are a lifetime member, almost all memberships are set to expire this month.)

Developers change scope of 749 17th St. project from Senior Care facility to Senior Group Housing.  There will now be 17 one-bedroom units with only 1/2 parking space allotted for each unit.  The overall building design is virtually the same.  This latest proposal still poses neighborhood concerns regarding public safety due to increased traffic, lack of adequate parking (about 25-50% spaces short of what’s needed), and increased density in a residential zone.  This new project does not require public comment prior to staff approval; only an Architectural Review Board hearing (date to be determined).  If you are concerned and would like to learn more or join with other neighbors, please contact Ron Goldman at ron@gfarchitects.com.

A group of residents has filed the “Residents’ Initiative to Fight Traffic” for the November ballot. The measure would seek to control traffic by establishing an annual limit on commercial development. Residential development would not be affected.  For more information, go to www.smrift.com or call 310-395-8044.
