Im writing to express my strong support for the proposal.
Single-family zoning has been the default for decades, but we now know that gentle density can help address housing shortages, reduce sprawl, and create more walkable, vibrant neighborhoods. This project wont disrupt the character of the community; instead, it will allow another household (perhaps a young family, retirees, or essential workers) to live in a neighborhood they otherwise couldnt afford.
Critics often fear change, but duplexes arent overdevelopment they are a modest, sensible way to add housing without drastically altering the area. Many thriving communities mix single-family homes with duplexes and small apartments seamlessly. This project is an opportunity to move beyond outdated zoning norms that exclude people and drive up costs.
I urge the Commission to approve this project. Lets welcome housing options that make our community more accessible, resilient, and dynamic.
