Commercial Rezoning of 1465 Corydon and 492 Queenston

Out of Character Contrary to Current Restricted Use and Zoning Agreement Caveats Precedence for Changes to the Character of Commercial Nodes Encroachment and Lines of Sight Parking Lots Access from and Egress onto Queenston Street etc.

Oppose this - it will bring even more traffic into the area

Visitor parking on Queenston & Corydon already a problem as unavailable due to teachers /sports events at school using these spaces

Not in favour of this at all. There’s never any parking in front of my house the teachers are here all day long. Don’t need any more people parking on the street.

I really like this project. Is there a way we can support the project rather than not support the project. I am old and it is very important that I can walk to the shops in our neighborhood as I age in place. Otherwise I will have to move out of the neighborhood to a personal care home.

I am opposed to the development of a "Residential 1" property into C1 property for the following reasons: 1- A 2-storey development does not fit with the character of the neighborhood. Recent developments have occurred at 1425 Corydon (built in approx 2016). This building is too large, out of character, has major parking issues which overflow onto Corydon and side streets, and creates more traffic issues. Another 2 storey development will further exacerbate this problem. 2-More retail space is not needed on this section of Corydon; retail space at 1459 Corydon (the adjacent building) is vacant approx 50% of the time. 3- Traffic is an issue in this area. Increasing commercial space and residential space (via condos) will increase the risks. There are frequent collisions or 'near' misses due to traffic at existing school and commercial blocks immediately south and east of the proposed development (Brock Corydon school, 7-11, Greek Market). This development will increase traffic directly in front of Brock Corydon school, creating increased collision risks. Relevant to this point, Brock Corydon school families use these blocks on Corydon as drop-off/ pick-up locations, as the school has no designated drop-off areas. 4- This is a residential neighborhood, and should remain a residential neighborhood. There are schools, playgrounds, and houses as the main focus. More retail is not needed, and a 2-storey building is out of character. My preference is that it 494 Queenston remains a residential zone, keeping with the character of the neighborhood.

With the changes in office use, and the vacancy rate as a result of COVID there is no solid rationale for more retail space in a residential neighbourhood.

Please be reminded that this petition will become part of public record.

Please let Rivers Heights remain as the beautiful residential neighborhood that it is

I am an area resident and am in opposition to this rezoning for all the reasons outlined in this petition

Apposed to commercial development in this residential area with little parking as it is.

I am a resident of Riverheights and oppose this change.

I do not want re-zoning to be allowed. River Heights has enough commercial buildings.

Definitely not in favour

I believe that the proposed commercial building is too close to the Brock Corydon Elementary School. Parking is already problematic on Queenston Street as parents park to drop off and pick up kids.

I agree with petition.

I am against this development.

I live at 204 Queenston St and I am against this rezoning.

No way!!!
