Attached are the two previous <br />letters we submitted earlier this year. Understanding some of the other feedback you are hearing, I want to <br />highlight that the provisions of SB 1051 are not complicated. Some may be urging you to undergo legal <br />gymnastics to minimize the number of SDUs in their neighborhood. Let me assure you, that is not the intent <br />behind SB 1051. It was intended to provide more housing options and increase access to more diverse and <br />abundant housing. SDUs are have a minimal impact in neighborhoods and are relatively affordable compared to <br />current market rate housing. SB 1051 was designed to make it easier for cities to comply with Goal 10 of the <br />land use system. You can even use the bill as cover for a difficult choice you are required to make. I implore <br />you to make the moral (and legally compliant) choice that so many of your constituents desperately need. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Kind regards, <br />Alexis Biddle <br />Urban Circuit Rider <br />1000 Friends of Oregon <br />Email: alexis(a friends.org <br />Phone: (503) 497-1000 ext. 8 <br />
