These amendments are long overdue and the failure to actively include tribal representatives or to respect the pleas of NPS and neighborhood representatives to engage with and respect Native American voices and values when deciding amendments and development on the NW mesa has led to the approval of plans or changes that are in conflict with the protection of culturally sensitive landscapes. The passage by City Council of changes to the NW Mesa Escarpment VPO-2 last year is but one example. I appreciated Councilor Fiebelkorn's consistent opposition in both LUPZ and at Council to the VPO-2 changes. I wonder if those would have passed if Native American voices and views had been explicitly included in the deliberations.
