I’d love to see an economical housing development there, but I’m very concerned with the scale, style, and traffic increase without a strong mitigation plan. I’d be much more attracted to a mixed use development to support tall structures.

I definitely oppose another apt bldg on that block. Too congested as it's. . The people who live next door in Top of The Pines will not have the privacy they do now.

No rezoning please! Take it somewhere else.

Please abide by the terms of our small area plan and deny this rezone proposal. We worked, in good faith, with the City to come up with the Small Area Plan approved unanimously by City Council. To approve this proposal, that goes against that Plan, would be a slap in the face of the citizens that worked so hard for this plan and show we cannot trust our City Government.

I'm signing this petition because I understand that the community has previously worked with the city to develop a thoughtful Small Area Plan that envisions appropriate development at this location. The proposed rezoning conflicts with the vision that the residents helped shape with the city and apparently the rezoning applicant is not willing to seek reasonable compromise. Let's encourage development that serves the area, not harms it, and that represents true collaboration of all constituencies.

This corner is too small for a large apartment complex.

The project is inconsistent with surrounding neighbors & will contribute to more traffic in a dangerous area!

It’s traffic jam waiting to happen in already jammed up area.

Intersection is danger6 enough. Don't change the zoning again. Enough is enough

This area is already a traffic hazzard at best. No police patrol the area for speeding, running red lights, and general disregard for traffic laws. Accidents at this intersection are frequent, and apparent by the daily accumulation of accident debris. This area cannot accommodate the increased volume from Lidl, let alone a new housing development this size.

The council should preserve quiet neighborhoods like ours and encourage developers to rebuild the decaying lots on Capital. This proposal does exactly the opposite.

Agree especially with the additional traffic problem this would create. Also it would be out of place being that tall.

David Cox is the only Councilman who seemed the least bit aware of the situation. The other council and Mayor seem disinterested and ready to move on.

This is already a dangerous intersection with so much traffic. Building apartments would only compound the issue. Also decrease home value.

Our neighborhood does NOT need a 350 apartment complex. Traffic will be a nightmare and the number of car accidents and fatalities will increase. And our property values will DECREASE due to the high density 350 apartment complex.

The proposed apartment complex is too dense and is inconsistent with the area where it is to be constructed. The re-zoning petition should be denied.

Apartments are high yield investments for owners not for neighborhood

This project will make the area congested, over populated and interfere with suburban vibe.

The last thing we need on this already busy road is more vehicle traffic, more foot traffic and more garbage. New Hope Rd has become Raleigh’s Speedway with all the car racing.
