The Metropolitan Planning Commission has officially denied the rezoning request for our neighborhood land. This result secures the future of our residential space and prevents the proposed industrial development. Thank you for your commitment to protecting our community.

Landmark 24 has filed a request with the MPC to rezone the last 341 acres of our neighborhood (The Highlands) from Residential to Light Industrial with the intent to build warehouses on that property.
These 341 acres are Master Planned to have 3 more communities, a road continuation of Highlands Blvd to Jimmy DeLoach Pkwy, and a second space for another Clubhouse. We are scheduled to receive this road regardless in the next couple of years as our neighborhood has grown to the point of needing it. Landmark 24 is trying to scare us into giving up prime real estate in order to 'pay for a road' that is owed to us anyways. Do not allow our neighborhood to be bullied into this bad deal!
Communities located inside The Highlands Master Plan: Cumberland Point, Godley Park, Highlands Crossing, Highlands Falls, Rivermoor, Savannah Highlands, Spring Lakes, Waverly, Waverly Station Apartments, Willow Point, and the future North Haven Apartments.
WE HAVE A VOICE! EVERYONE WHO HAS MOVED INTO THE HIGHLANDS HAS FINANCIALLY INVESTED INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE HAVE TO PROTECT OUR INVESTMENT.
UPDATE: Van Johnson, and members of the MPC, will hold a neighborhood meeting on this topic Wednesday, July 13th at 6pm in the Godley Station School. We must show up in numbers to speak out against this proposal!
I also encourage everyone to attend the MPC hearing on Tuesday July 19th at 1:30 pm in the Arthur A. Mendoza Hearing Room at 112 E. State Street in downtown Savannah.
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to keep the site zoned as it is (PUD-C Residential). We feel it would be detrimental to our property values, our day-to-day life, and our community to live so close to an industrial area.
(Everyone may sign in your household, not just 1-per-house, so please have your spouses, roommates, etc to sign as well and help SHARE this link so everyone in the neighborhood can find out more about this proposal!)

The focus remains on the upcoming meetings where we will present our case against the warehouse development. I am currently organizing the feedback from many residents to ensure our arguments are clear and professional during the public hearing.

I prefer it stay residential. The way that the communities are tuck away it's not on a busy street is geniuses for having serenity. it's comforting to know that we are far away from the high traffic areas but close enough for the necessities .
I agree. We do not need trucks coming Down highlands. The roads are bad enough already. We are paying $50 every year for road maintenance. That surely would go up. Who can afford living here then. Plus safety is an issue.
This would be completely ridiculous if allowed to happen! This entire area should stay 100% residential!! Please think about the kids and the families before allowing this to happen!! There is plenty of undeveloped space on Jimmy Deloach for all of this development, and that is where it should stay!!
I do not want this warehouse in my community. I don't think this will add any value to our neighborhood and will destroy our property values. We have a family friendly neighborhood and we do not want the noise, the trucks, or the aesthetics of a warehouse in our backyard.
We have invested in a home in this area being told this was going to reaidential. There are so many other parcels of land near by that will not interfere with our neighborhoods. Please keep the zoning as residential.
Since all constructions started in area since last 6 months feel like living in third world country. Construction trucks are driven carelessly. I had at least 3 very narrow escape when truck came on road without stopping .
I bought in this area due to it being off the beaten path and well priced. The city already rezoned the area to Savannah so I now pay higher taxes and insurance due to Savannah issues.

We purchased our home in Willow Point because it is a family based subdivision that we felt safe raising our son in. I feel with "any" industrial building, it would be a detriment to our family community and the safety of our children.
