CPC note

Peter noticed this in CPC's Draft Scope of Work

TASK 22: Alternatives

“An alternative with zoning map amendment for the Non-Project Rezoning Area to i)
M1-4/R6A for all of Block 2415 and the M3-1 zoned portion of Block 2403; ii) and a
change to M1-4/R6B for the M3-1 zoned portion of Block 2390;”

Oh man is this a wack alternative. It rezones an area that they don’t own to a mixed use M1-4/R6A and M1-4/R6B. Their original proposal rezones it to M1-2 from M3-1. This would pretty much just force out any existing manufacturing in the area! It would allow for as-of-right residential structures and the market to displace any business that exists on those blocks! What?!?! CPC seems to be using this alternative to encroach further on the livelihood of surrounding manufacturing, retail, and residents.
