This is an old established neighborhood on all 4 sides of this property with farms and wildlife. GIVE NO VARIANCES FOLLOW THE ZONING LAWS. This is a classic case of a greedy developer wanting spot zoning. You are not entitled to a blank check with any zoning you want just because you buy a piece of property. Hold this owner to the zone he bought into. Protect the comprehensive neighborhood plan for saving our farmlands.

Low Income housing, Recovery Center will hurt people's property values. We already have some homeless in our area. The focus needs to be helping the homeless off of Central and Fifth Ave. Help that area.

The roads can't handle the extra traffic and the school can't hold any more students

We do not need any more development here. The roads are small and it is becoming over crowded. My family built their house in 1976 and our family has been here sense. This is not what we want for our area. We bought and build here to live in the country. People need to stop this it is ridiculous at this point. Vote NO

Out infrastructure is already over taxed with all the other new developments in the area. The noise and light pollution halls drastically increased to the point where you can't sit outside and listen to nature because of all the traffic noise. We moved here 30 years ago because of the peace.

Traffic is already dangerous and near a school zone at that. The area already seems to be supporting much more than it should .

This are is already overwhelmed due to the community infrastructure not meeting the needs of all the new residence already in the area: roads, traffic, sewer, water, electric, gas, etc. We can no longer just blindly allow builders and large corporations to come in and dictate what is good for OUR community. They have no stake in this area other than to make money.

This is not the right fit for this location. I am very concerned that too much development is being pushed through without enough thought for the people who already live here. Please deny this rezoning.

Why would the MPC approve such an obviously bad plan against this neighborhood. If this is approved SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. Please listen to that community and do the right thing.

This tract is not appropriate for increased density. This is not a “more housing is needed” case. Over 900 residential units/lots are under development in the immediate surrounding area. Housing demand should not be used to justify rezoning this constrained parcel. The question is not whether housing should exist. The question is whether this steep, environmentally sensitive, historically rural agricultural tract should be rezoned from Agricultural to PR. For this parcel, the answer is no.
