The City Commission has officially rejected the request to rezone the Bahia Vista property. It is clear that the persistence of our neighborhood was the deciding factor in maintaining the integrity of our streets. We have protected the character of our area for now, but we must stay attentive to …

We, the undersigned, hereby declare our support to NOT increase density of the property located at 2750 Bahia Vista Street/ 1300 S. Tuttle Ave.
Each of us opposes, without reservation, the Developer's proposal to change the subject property's future land use classification to Multiple Family-High Density AND to rezone the property to the Residential Multiple-Family 7 (RMF-7) zone district.
RMF-7 Zoning is high density multi-family, allowing for 50 dwelling units per acre and up to 180 feet in height. If changed, this zoning will allow up to 233 dwelling units on this corner-directly adjacent to single family homes.
This unprecedented change would set the stage to allow for rezoning of other properties throughout the City which is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map.
We urge the City of Sarasota staff, Planning Board and the City Commissioners to follow existing law and be upstanding and trustworthy stewards of our community and, as trustees of this community to heed this Petition.
This High Density change does not provide affordable work force housing and will instead cause irreparable harm to neighboring residents, devaluate real estate, decrease existing residents' quality of life and cause increased traffic throughout our neighborhood streets.
Precedent:Today 2750 Bahia Vista, tomorrow ? This sets the stage for multiple properties in and surrounding Arlington Park Neighborhood to be rezoned Multi-Family high density which will bring thousands more cars into our neighborhood on a daily basis.

This development is for the singular purpose of making wealthy developers more wealthy, at the cost of a peaceful community and group of people. Crime and traffic congestion will increase, while our property values decrease, opening the floodgates to further, uncontrolled development.
This is not where this kind of housing belongs. I have lived here for 11 years and bought in this neighborhood because it was a quiet beautiful place. This will take all that away especially with the increase in traffic
Absolutely opposed to changes in comprehensive plan to satisfy development inconsistent with neighborhood vision. Period. They should not be moving their personal agendas forward. STOP this now! --36 year resident of the Arlington Park neighborhood
This is a residential neighborhood. The income level in this neighborhood was designed so children can walk to school. Increasing the amount of traffic in an already heavily trafficked the neighborhood will only present a more likelihood of accidents and children being harmed. This is not a city neighborhood, it is a single-family home neighborhood.
...a high density high rise is simply NOT consistent with the comprehensive plan for the Arlington Park District ...this concept is not appropriate and should not be permitted to become a reality.
No, no, no to more over crowding and road congestion!
This track is essential for jobs, entertainment and is the Disneyworld of racing facilities. It has rich history since 1927 and is a beautiful wide open space convenient for all the suburbs! Love horse...save the Park!

I support the Arlington Park committee on maintaining low density on the parcel near Bahia Vista and Tuttle of 25 units per acre. I prefer single family residential of 4 homes per acre. That is approx. 10,000 sq.ft. Per home. The average for the area.
