New expansion of the Central business district (CBD) compromises the integrity of historic neighborhoods and the City’s jurisdiction to protect them and provide oversight. The state legislature is passing laws (and may continue to do so) based on the CBD boundaries. The potential impact of this legislation is largely unknown, and it is premature to expand the boundaries. Our neighborhoods are not commercial and should not be subject to developers using the CBD for zoning and land use changes.
