Protecting the property value of my home and preserving the historic residential character of the Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood (HHN) is important to me. Maintaining residential zoning for all land currently zoned residential within the 23-block area of HHN will help achieve these outcomes. I own property within or live in the HHN. I want the zoning of 314 Bay Street to remain R1B which permits single-family residential uses with related recreational, religious, and educational facilities. I also support the City Planning Commission's recent decision to change the designation of Bay Street (between Hall Avenue and Gordon's Creek) to Neighborhood Conservation District 1 in the 2008-2028 Future Land Use Plan as this reflects past, present, and future character of the HHN.

The momentum we have built proves the City Planning Commission cannot ignore us anymore. We are forcing these developers to see that our neighborhood is not for sale to the highest bidder.

Keep the neighborhood character intact. No more commercial creep on bay street.
My family has lived here for 20 years and we want to keep it a home area not a business district. Plain and simple.
Keep bay street residential. we dont need commercial buildings here ruining the look of the neighborhood.
STOP THE REZONING NOW
This is a residential street through and through. Changing the zoning puts all of our property values at risk and it just makes no sense.

Ridiculous to even consider changing this. HHN is a historic gem and needs to be protected from developers.
