Doesn’t the City already regulate safety, blight, new construction, etc?
Yes, the City of Oakland has many ordinances and enforcement practices in place. In fact, the construction design review aspects of our CC&R’s are almost moot now because the City’s own design review policy is catching up and institutionalizing the same kind of architectural design guidelines that the Leimert Company was promoting in 1926. Oakland also has blight ordinances, tree protection ordinances, view corridor protection and safety regulations that often exceed those in our CC&R’s. That is why the OHA sees its modern day role as primarily one of communication, facilitation and mediation among neighbors.
