Stop Apartments Rezone

Happy Thanksgiving

I'll let my neighbors tell you what they think about the R3 High-density invasion of Barrow County. "When I moved here 3 years ago I choose Barrow county for it's "country feel" I did not want to live in a metropolitan area. High volume apartments are exact what I moved here to avoid. My husband commutes an hour each way so we can live in a nice peaceful country type setting. Do not turn Barrow county into the next rundown overcrowded section of Atlanta that no one will WANT to live in". Ada Bode, Auburn, GA, United States 12 hours ago via Change.org..

Finally good news! It's official. The city council voted tonight-(11/10/20) to allow the developer to "withdraw the rezone request (without prejudice)".. We just have to stay vigilant now so if/when the developer tries this again, we will be ready again!. Round one goes to "We the People".. https://www.change.org/nohighdensitybarrow

Sneaky Covid19 Rezones. Update. Reminder: Since the Developer has withdrawn the current/pending rezone application, we don't need to be at the city council meeting on 11/10/20 @ 6pm, although you are welcome to attend as I will also be their on 11/9 & 11/10 to monitor the situation. Thanks everyone for your support. For now we have them "on the ropes". Stay tuned for more updates. https://www.change.org/nohighdensitybarrow

We have a new petition and We're almost at 300 signatures![see link below]. Thanks also for everyone that came out in Winder & Auburn to support the parade for Joslyn Stinchcomb who came home from the hospital today, after suffering a vicious dog attack.  This community came together.  I hope we can come together and also keep out R3-high density apartments from this county.  Stay tuned.. https://www.change.org/nohighdensitybarrow

The city of Winders new city council voted during a pandemic (covid19) back in April to change our zoning laws and maps without citizens input. Now we are facing R3 high-density Apartments city wide. This is against the 2018 Winder future land use plan and Barrow county's current future land use plan!. No one knows about this!.

Please do not approve! The change from senior housing, not excited about losing the green space in my neighborhood but could see the benefits, to apartments is ludicrous. I am originally from metropolitan Atlanta and have seen the negative impact of apartment housing in areas that are traditional housing.

No apts

This was originally proposed for 64 Senior (55+) units. This change request is a completely different proposal that negatively impacts the surrounding community; lowering property values while increasing burdens to schools, infrastructure (roads/traffic) and city services. I moved to Winder from Gwinnett to escape the ever increasing crowding and congestion. Don't ruin Winder.

Please reconsider. We don't need anymore apartments. Affordable houses provide more stability & contribute to the city & the community long term. A house is an investment and a commitment. An apartment is is a stepping stone. We need dedicated citizens.
