As homeowners and residents of the historic Beverly Green and Southridge neighborhoods, we support the principles set forth in our Neighborhood Plan : residential development that enhances the quality of life and preserves the residential character of our neighborhood. The C-1 zoning designation that the developer is seeking would open 6th St to commercial encroachment on a residential street. This rezoning is not necessary for the residential project that the developer is proposing. Accordingly, we oppose the developer's request for commercial rezoning of the site on 6th Street (ZON 29009).
