Too many areas are being ruined by commercial developments; too many trees being destroyed.

We have enough commercial properties nearby. Need more residential.

Another commercial property in the area will disrupt the traffic, safety, and peace of the two adjacent neighborhoods,

We are against spot zoning which is exactly what this appears to be. The only adjacent property is a residential neighborhood which has no other outlet besides the small road which will now be shared with this shopping center. When we bought our house in St. Ives, we loved the fact that our street had one outlet. If this rezoning gets approved, the one outlet will be a detriment to our neighborhood because we will be fighting traffic just to enter our residential street. Please reconsider. Imagine if this was your neighborhood.

Commercial developers need to leave our neighborhoods alone!

Strongly opposed to rezoning of this property. It will cause additional traffic congestion along Kerry Forest Parkway, etc. and be a burden to our St. Ives Lane subdivision and devalue our property.

As a St Ives homeowner, I oppose the rezoning of this parcel. I'm pretty sure my tenants will not appreciate the increase of traffic in their neighborhood. The neighborhood needs the buffer of trees from Thomasville Road to keep the noise levels down. We want St Ives to remain a calm place to take a walk where people can let their children play in the street!

Hello, No strip mall should ever be build where the roads to the mall interfere with traffic in adjacent neighborhoods.

NO!!! Traffic on Thomasville Rd is already dangerously congested. This is near a busy day care and elementary school. A newly built strip mall across the street housing a mattress store and dentist office still has vacancies. From the looks of the vacant parking lot, the two business in there will most likely close from bankruptcy very soon. This is too much growth too soon. When has Tallahassee expanded its employment base enough to sustain this rapid development??

Enough is enough with the commercial development of this neighborhood! We are not Orlando or Miami, nor do we want to end up looking like them!

Please don't allow this to go through. It will be terrible, not just for the homeowners, but the grid lock would only hurt the business that they want there anyway.

Not to mention how crime will go up, runoff drainage and vacant run down shops when they fail. Strip malls are temporary. Look at history of developments. More developer greed. They buy it, build it then leave it for neighbors to deal with. There's plenty of shopping in that area. Build a park. Would be much better for an area that doesn't have friendly green space

Florida has many cases of poor zoning and land use. For the sake of our future and as an example for better planning, this parcel of land should not be rezoned.
