Re: Greenville County Planning Commission - Docket Number CZ-2008-35 See #CZ-2008-35 at http://NoOnCZ200835.googlepages.com/home or review at http://www.greenvilleplanning.com The petitioners object to the proposed rezoning of 47 acres at the intersection of West Georgia Road and Rocky Creek Road from R-S (Residential Suburban) to PD (Planned Development) The proposed Planned Development is an inconsistent use, which will bring unwanted commercial activity into the middle of a 5-mile stretch of residential use of West Georgia Road, and will \"wrap\" around onto Rocky Creek Road. West Georgia Road is adequately served by commercial businesses at the I-385 interchange, at the Fork Shoals intersection, and 3-miles away at Fairview Road. The petitioners do not desire to have West Georgia Road and it\'s intersection with Rocky Creek Road to become a traffic snarled commercial corridor. We enjoy our tree-lined residential corridor. Additionally, the multi-family housing is also inconsistent use with the surrounding home communities. The design calls for a single entrance off of West Georgia road into each half of the development (bisected by Rocky Creek Road). At the proposed re-zoning density levels, over 300 residences could be built. The traffic headaches would be unacceptable. Additionally, there are already numerous developments already approved along this same corridor. Many of these developments remain incomplete with vacant lots and unsold housing. It is inappropriate to approve even more housing in this area, when the existing approved development languishes. We the undersigned property owners do hereby oppose the rezoning by Greenville County Council of that property located at WEST GEORGIA ROAD AND ROCKY CREEK ROAD and filed with the Greenville County Department of Planning as Docket CZ-2008-35 scheduled for the May 19th, 2008 Public Hearing, the May 20th first reading, and the May 28th planning staff recommendation. DOCKET NUMBER: CZ-2008-35 APPLICANT: John D. Hopkins, Jr. for Others PROPERTY LOCATION: West Georgia Road and Rocky Creek Road EXISTING ZONING: R-S, Residential Suburban REQUESTED ZONING: PD, Planned Development ACREAGE: 47 CC: 28-Payne
