Preserve our existing neighborhoods! I move to Norwalk over 10 years ago for my peaceful single- family home neighborhood and do not wish for this to change.

There is no space nor infrastructure to support more multifamily housing in these single family areas of Norwalk. There are multiple illegal dwellings and houses chopped up into rooming houses throughout the Nolan Court, Springhill and Brookside areas . There are 7 cars to what should be a 3 bedroom house and many other hazards due to the blight and unchecked transients. Much to control and address before burdening the residents who make this city great with renters in multi families and of rooms who pay no city property taxes and keep their cars blocking the streets but registered in NY and other states.

If zoning can be changed at the whim of an administration what is the point of having zoning. I understand that our economy is based on growth and that the easiest way to accomplish that is by bringing in more people. We are showing signs of overcrowding, It should not be all about money so please slow down and think about what you are doing to our community.

The very idea that Norwalk is considering doing such a horrendous thing to the current homeowners who already pay astonishingly high taxes, shows how terrible the City is at balancing their budget. It shows how poor of a choice Harry Rilling made in bringing Steve Kleppin to Norwalk. It shows how little respect the City has for the taxpaying residents. The hundreds of residents who came out and dialed in to public hearings to express their objections clearly shows no one (except developers and city officials who can't balance a budget) want this increase density zoning. Small lots of single family homes are dense enough. It's a discrimination against those who don't have as much money. The city should be ashamed of themselves for even proposing this and causing all the anxiety and trauma to the homeowners in already dense areas.

We are already taking steps to reduce taxes paid to state and Norwalk. Serious opposition to higher population density is only one of them.

Keep Norwalk beautiful, adding these bigger building won’t do anyone Justice except for the kick back that get put into unknown peoples pockets. Also these building are not affordable for anyone or the majority of people in Norwalk.

Stop the Zoning and Planning Commission from destroying our residential neighborhoods with what it refers to as "upzoning." Enough! There is need for transparency. Developers, not Norwalk residents, are the ones calling for these changes and reaching out to grease the hand of everyone willing to support their goal of enriching themselves at my expense and the expense of all the homeowners of Norwalk who care about maintaining the residential quality of their neighborhoods.

I am opposed to changes in Norwalk’s zoning laws that will lead to greater density and more traffic in the West Norwalk neighborhood where I live.

As someone aptly described this rezoning, "It's like someone coming into your house, uninvited, and redecorating." Stay out of our houses. Stay off our property. I know ppl who moved to Nwlk from NYC to escape the overcrowding, congestion, and smog. Now they've moved to upstate CT b/c Nwlk is becoming the same way. None of the luxe condos/apts going up on any postage-stamp-sized pieces of green are "affordable housing," which is the P&Z's excuse for rezoning. Why not? They're new builds; no rezoning necessary. This "pack 'em in" approach to zoning is like trying to pour 12 oz of liquid into a 6 oz glass. You're dying to turn Norwalk into New York and you're killing the town in the process. But so long as it isn't YOUR neighborhoods, you don't care. Well, WE care.

Assess the outcome/impact of the changes to Norwalk already approved & in motion by city and state before forcing additional changes on residents. In case of East Norwalk--East Ave widening, railroad bridge re-build, all various housing projects--are changing the neighborhood now. Neighborhood identities are important elements of the Norwalk community. Don't ruin Norwalk by eagerly, zealously attempting to solve statewide housing shortages with overly aggressive zoning changes.
