Hearing popular support for a Mayoral campaign

TUCSON -- I've been hearing a lot of support for running for Mayor, I'm happy to report.

I'm talking with key people, and plan to make a decision by mid-April or sooner.

I'll be meeting with political activists and speaking at 6 and 8:45 pm Thursday 3/22 at The Shanty, 401 E. 9th St. Everyone is welcome.

The Planning Commission vetted this proposal in detail. Most comments from the public were in favor, with very little comment from developers. The Commission passed it along to Council with a positive recommendation.

If the Council has concerns, they may want to remand the issue back to the Planning Commission for further review and possible revision.

I am generally supportive, although I still have questions on implementation details like the 25% support requirement.

Daniel,

I added your blog as a link at my place. If you are willing, would appreciate the same on your list of links to local blogs.

Also, at the risk of inviting a floodgate, which would probably be a good problem, I would encourage you to have your blog profile include an email address. You could use a gmail or whatever, but allowing the public to contact you directly occurs to me as a good move.

Don't wait too long to decide to run. People are thinking that Mayor Bob is a shoo-in. Besides, Rodney is picking off all the good campaigners.

Many agree that the NPZ is a good idea, but the 25% likely won't fly when applying Citywide. The remaining 75% would end up fighting City Hall if they didn't like the proposal. Only 25% needed to petition a proposed NPZ would make it vulnerable to 207 challenge. A compromise would be 51% needed to file a petition for a NPZ. The City doesn't want to end up in court. I agree with you that 25% isn't enough to get the plan before the City.

Once again the 25% myth has come into the light of day. Let me make this as clear as I can for you. If a neighborhood would like to set up a NPZ it would take 25% of that neighborhoods population to start the process. That is all the 25% is about! The argument that opponents of the NPZ use is that this so called 25% is going to control what will happen for all of the city. This is NOT TRUE.

If the neighborhood has sufficient support it must follow a rezoning process. This require full notification of all property owners with in 300 feet of the proposed NPZ along with a number of public hearings.
