Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood Residents Opposing 314 Bay St. Rezoning
I am a resident of the Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood. I understand that the owner and developers of 314 Bay St. want to change the zoning of that property from R1A residential to B2 business in order to open a retail establishment or restaurant there. I am against the changing of the zoning from R1A to B2.
The Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood is a residential neighborhood and needs to remain that way in order to protect the character of the neighborhood as being mainly single family homes, a school and churches, and to protect the values of our homes, which many of us have worked extremely hard to renovate and restore. There is no need for a retail establishment or restaurant in the neighborhood, as these same services are provided in the nearby downtown district, and the several retail establishments and a grocery store immediately surrounding the neighborhood.
I support the Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood Association in opposing the rezoning of 314 Bay St. from R1A to B2 zoning and I ask that the City Council deny the rezoning request and allow 314 Bay St. to remain zoned R1A.

As 40 year resident of the HHN, I can tell you a lot of effort went into stopping the business enchroachment on our main neighborhood thoroughfare. I would hate to see us lose what many of us worked so hard to achieve. We should not be having to fight this battle all over again
I live at 701 Southern Ave in historic downtown and absolutely do NOT want rezoning that would allow businesses in our neighborhood!
I absolutely oppose the rezoning of this site. It should be cleared as it is a blight on the neighborhood. I live at 511 Bay St. and bought the house 4 years ago because Bay St. was zoned R1A. The rezoning will destroy my property value and reduce the historic value of the street.

What I don’t understand is why this city makes us address this issue continually after ruling this property residential.
I live at 802 Elizabeth Ave; I strongly oppose rezoning of 314 Bay Street. When will this matter be resolved for good? Why do we have to revisit this every six months to a year or so?

Our neighborhood is unique BECAUSE it is residential with easy access - just a few blocks' walk - to commercial establishments. It is that area - already properly zoned for businesses or commercial purposes - that would welcome a new restaurant. Rezoning in this historic neighborhood would be detrimental to the individual homeowners and the neighborhood as a whole. Please deny the request to rezone 314 Bay Street or any part of the historic neighborhood so many of our residents have worked so many years to maintain.
