The rezoning is finally approved and our neighborhood future is secure. This long struggle drained me but seeing our community protected makes every bit of the effort worth it. We will keep an eye on the construction phase to ensure the final result matches the plans we fought for.

Started by Keys Gate Homeowner 10 years, 6 months ago

We, the voting citizens of Keys Gate and Homestead, petition the City Council of Homestead to allow the current zoning of Commercial / multi-family units in the Park of Commerce to include single family homes.

We also respectfully petition the Council to approve Mr. Wayne Rosen's request to allow the approximate 11 acres of golf course land to be rezoned as residential land.

With this petition, we also ask you to support a renovated golf course as proposed by Mr. Jim Fazio at the February 3rd golf course presentation, and that the land surrounding the "third finger" of the golf course (approximately 35 - 40 acres) be site-planned as a single-family neighborhood of no more than 6 units per acre.

A Championship golf course will create new jobs, promote tourism, and bring increased tax revenue to Homestead, as well as a true sense of community - something of which Homestead and all of South Florida can be proud.

One hundred people have signed on to protect our neighborhood. It has been a long and exhausting road so far but seeing this support keeps me pushing forward.

I have owned a home in Northgate since 1989 and the Park of Commerce has basically remained empty since then. Please allow the rezoning to enhance our community and allow my wife and I and our children the ability to play golf in our own neighborhood. Thank you.

This is a step in the right direction for Homestead. As a real estate agent that works in the area, this will create more jobs, bring in more home buyers and raise values on current homes in the area. We need more venues in Homestead like this and its truly an amazing site. Lets save the golf course.

I approve the golf course, but I'm not clear on the mixed use portion. I would not approve any change to the surrounding land around the club house (butterfly park, tennis court and open area)

After reviewing this petition, I’ve noticed that there are numerous misleading inaccuracies. Specifically, “We, the voting citizens of Keys Gate and Homestead, petition the City Council of Homestead to allow the current zoning of Commercial / multi-family units in the Park of Commerce to include single family homes. We also respectfully petition the Council to approve Mr. Wayne Rosen's request to allow the approximate 11 acres of golf course land to be rezoned as residential land. With this petition, we also ask you to support a renovated golf course as proposed by Mr. Jim Fazio at the February 3rd golf course presentation, and that the land surrounding the "third finger" of the golf course (approximately 35 - 40 acres) be site-planned as a single-family neighborhood of no more than 6 units per acre. A Championship golf course will create new jobs, promote tourism, and bring increased tax revenue to Homestead, as well as a true sense of community - something of which Homestead and all of South Florida can be proud.”   Upon review of the Notice of Proposed Chance on the City of Homestead’s website, there is no reference to Mr. Fazio’s proposal, no mention of a $12,000,000 investment, nor any legally binding change other than the addition of more homes to our neighborhood. Any mention of the Keys Gate Golf Course and any renovation thereto is intentionally misleading.   The Federal Trade Commission’s Truth in Advertising Act requires that any advertisement or marketing tool be truthful and prohibits any advertisement or marketing tool from misleading consumers. iPetition’s online activism tool is a form of marketing, as described in their “How to write a successful petition” post.   The creators of this online petition and those posting subsequent comments should note that they are in direct violation of the Truth in Advertising Act and should cease and desist making inaccurate and misleading statements, as the golf course renovations mentioned in the petition h
