We, the undersigned surrounding neighbors, are in OPPOSITION to ANY form of rezoning from the current R-3 use for the property at 8515 Sardis Road. The plan is inconsistent with South District Plan for long-range planning, which recommends single family residential land use, at a density of three units per acre. The plan is also inconsistent with surrounding neighborhoods.

Reaching five hundred signatures feels like a heavy weight being acknowledged by the rest of this city. My exhaustion is still there but seeing this level of alignment keeps me moving forward against the developers.

With already much congestion and FIVE growing schools on Sardis Road and several churches with daycare facilities, the focus needs to be on NOT adding to our significant traffic problem. Please stay with single family zoning!
With the Fletcher School right across the street this is already a very difficult area to navigate in the morning, the density with only add to the problem. IF you look at the Mecklenburg County zoning map there isn't any multifamily zones for miles, this shouldn't be the first!
As a 20+ yr resident this is completely out of character with the neighborhood & area. The plan presented falls short on width of access roads; has no space for emergency and garbage vehicles to turn around & is unsafe for their residents as well as the public at large.
I have lived in the area for 6 years, and one of the main reasons I bought this house was because of the uniqueness of this area. It was not planned to be an R8 zone for good reason. Please keep with the city plan and keep this area zoned R3!
My property backs onto the creek and it overflows periodically... a few years ago, it came up above the 100 year mark. I am concerned that adding this density to our neighborhood would increase the thread of flooding into my home. Please turn down this rezoning.
Stop only caring about lining your pockets!
This would be a traffic nightmare with several school zones and not fair to those owning single family residences.

The increase in population density in this area has reached a pace that is dangerously ahead of infrastructure to support it. Within a one mile radius, there are at least 10 projects where for every one residence that is torn down 6 - 15 replace it.
