Smells more like a quality of life thing.

NIMBYism usually improves or protects quality of life for existing residents or property owners, generally at the expense of potential new residents.

It’s more NIMBYism protects the property values of existing homeowners (or they think it does) at the expense of both existing renters and potential new renters/homeowners.

Which this petition is also trying to do by limiting space for housing.

How would one's quality of life be diminished by building additional housing? Lemme ask this, how are you defining "quality of life" here? If the public facilities and infrastructure is adequate for additional development to be approved, then theoretically quality of life should not be diminished, unless this is a personal preference in which that's not applicable as a reason to prevent the development.
