Ocean Beach / Package A

Retired archaeologist and OB Historical Society board member urged learning from history before changing protections.

Ocean Beach Historical Society member urged rejection of the package and completion of the full district survey.

Longtime Ocean Beach resident warned the package would hand the community's character to outside developers.

OB resident opposed the package, citing parking, transit, and scale concerns, and warned councilmembers of electoral consequences.

OB Planning Group member asked why councilmembers would vote contrary to expert bodies and demanded a survey before deregulation.

La Playa Heritage speaker noted OB's historic character, renter majority, and opposition from HRB, CPC, and the OB Planning Board.

Urged denial, saying removing protections would permanently damage Ocean Beach's character without creating affordable housing.
