Much of the City’s rationale for the proposed rezoning is tied to the State-mandated Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The City is required to identify enough land to meet its assigned housing targets for the RHNA Cycle 6.

Here’s where you can find the City’s detailed explanation:

  Start on page 4-134 (which is page 192 of the PDF) to see:

  • How the City is calculating which parcels are being used to meet RHNA goals

  • The full list of parcels included in RHNA Cycle 6

Important Notes for Local Residents:

• East Vivian Neighborhood and the internal-facing houses on Gregory Lane are not included in the RHNA parcel list.

• In Poets Corner, only the vacant parcels off of Beatrice Road are being used to meet RHNA requirements—not the existing single-family homes. There is no State requirement to open the current streets to Cleaveland Road.

We’ve worked hard to build these neighborhoods. Let’s fight just as hard to protect them.

Let’s stand up, speak out, and stop this — before it’s too late.
