ORIGINAL PETITION LANGUAGE:

As residents of Brevard County, we want to keep our current zoning laws in place and protect our unincorporated residential neighborhoods from zoning changes that would allow short-term or nightly rentals through private rental companies and services like Airbnb and VRBO.

By signing this petition, we want to let our Brevard County Commissioners know how much we value our South Melbourne Beach, South Beaches and unincorporated Brevard County communities, neighborhoods, beaches and wildlife. We do not want changes to our zoning that may negatively affect our quality of life as residents or negatively affect our beautiful natural environment.

This signed petition will be submitted to our Brevard County Commissioners.

Allowing this to happen for such a small portion of the population you serve is a travesty. While you think you are reducing government regulations - you are actually increasing government interference with our right to quiet enjoyment that we purchased.

We live in a quiet, family oriented neighborhood where we all respect each others property, keep our beaches clean and protect the sea turtles. Short term rentals will bring increased traffic and crime, loud parties, and damage to our sand dunes and the sea turtle population.

A neighborhood is made up of neighbors, not visitors. Let's keep our neighborhoods neighborly. I want to know my neighbors and not live amongst a string of people I don't know.

I have personally experienced the disruption and noise intrusion as a result of short term rental across the canal from my home in Crystal Lakes and am adamant about keeping the current zoning laws in place.

Allowing big business to buy properties for short term rental will make housing unaffordable for locals. Home prices will skyrocket driving out first time home buyers and young families in place for short term visitors with no interest in preserving the area.

We moved here to raise a family in a community of neighbors. We don't want to be surrounded by out of state investment properties, poorly maintained and rented night by night to different people. That's not a neighborhood, that's a business district!

Please let us keep our area free of short-term rentals!! It is one small area that does not need to be like South Florida with nothing but hi-rises and continual gridlock on A1A not to mention increase in crime, garbage and mass people. STOP THIS!!!

I am already surrounded by rental units in a community of only 8 homes. Please Please Please n more. Even owners doing this on a weekly basis are inconsiderate and not attentive to things like garbage disposal and parking privileges. I have actually had renters park in front of my garage door blocking me from leaving when I had an emergency. NO MORE PLEASE!
