Support SB 1385 with Amendments 7/22/20Read or edit the petition Dear Senator, SB 1385 by Sen. Anna Caballero currently changes almost all California cities’ land-use rules to replace neighborhood stores with mostly luxury housing projects — with very few affordable units required. In order to support SB 1385, amendments must be made to: 1) Increase affordability requirements to offer 25% of the new housing units in these projects as affordable housing. 2) Protect neighborhoods from the loss of their mom-and-pop businesses that would be displaced by SB 1385 housing projects. Amendments should include the "right of first refusal" to allow business tenants to return to the new project and provide financial support during construction disruptions. Loss of local businesses harms the neighborhood, the business owner, and the jurisdiction that would suffer loss of sales tax revenues. 3) Remove SB 1385's parking restrictions. These are damaging to the disabled, the elderly and families with children.
