The Pima County Planning and Zoning Commission officially rejected the proposal to rezone our neighborhood. My heart is full knowing our streets will remain quiet and safe for our kids. We succeeded because we refused to let our homes be turned into a commercial lot.

STOP THE RE-ZONING FOR A DOLLAR GENERAL ON S SAN JOAQUIN RD & W BOPP RD. TUCSON, AZ 85735

To: The Pima County Planning and Zoning Commission
We, the undersigned owners/residents of property affected by the zoning change being requested for the land located at the intersection of South San Joaquin Rd. and West Bopp Rd. in Tucson, Arizona 85735; do hereby oppose any change of the Land Development Code from a Medium Intensity Residential (MRI) category to a Rural Crossroads (RX) that would allow re-zoning of the above mentioned property.
We, the undersigned owners/residents who live in the area of the proposed changes, do not want any rezoning to allow a Dollar General Store or any other retail to be built on the parcel in question. This is a highly residential area and we do not want the traffic or crime associated with a discount store or other retail business. The added traffic would also be a safety hazard to the children who ride the bus to and from school. These children are picked up and dropped off in the same area and many of them walk.
Each signature represents a resident/owner who opposes the change in re-zoning being requested to build a retail store in the middle of our neighborhood. We do not want or need the added traffic because we feel we would be affected by the changes as it pertains to the aesthetics, safety and the peace and quiet of our neighborhoods. We chose to buy and live on our rural properties to avoid retail and overcrowding that is found in the city.
To the members of the Pima County Planning and Zoning Commission, we request that you take our opposition and concerns into consideration and give them considerable weight when making your decision in regards to the requested approval for re-zoning of the parcel at the intersection of South San Joaquin Rd & West Bopp Rd. in Tucson, Arizona, 85735

I have been spending my evenings talking to neighbors who are worried about the safety of our kids at the bus stop if this project moves forward. The feedback shows our community is united in wanting to keep the rural character of our roads intact. We are currently preparing our formal testimony to present to the commission.

We are approaching one hundred signatures and the momentum shows how much we all value the safety of our quiet neighborhood streets. Please send the link to your neighbors so we can hit this milestone before we present our concerns to the commission.

I myself was hit by a vehicle walking past this exact same parcel, the added traffic would surely result in something much worse as I was lucky to have walked away after my incident.
Please, please -- please do not allow yet one more commercial intrusion to creep into what has been a pleasant desert neighborhood relatively free of dreary citification and urban blight.
I live just a couple blocks from this intersection. I definitely do NOT want to see a re-zoning be approved for a Dollar General store. There are two dollar stores on Kinney Road already, so we don't need a third one so close by. In addition, this will reduce the value of my home.
There are already too many dollar stores in this area. Several are ten to fifteen minutes away. We moved away from the city and do not want it to follow us to this rural, low density neighborhood. If this company must build such a store in this area there are many parcels on Ajo highway that are much more appropriate and already properly zoned
Thank you Steve Morgan for sharing these planned rezoning changes, it is a travesty that they only have to notify neighbors within 1000 feet of the site. Changing the zoning here would set a precedent that would change the whole fabric of the neighborhoods we all love. No zoning changes at this intersection.
There are two dollar stores 5 miles away - there is absolutely NO reason to build another one right here and ruin the neighborhood for a business that isn’t needed and will be gone in 10 yrs leaving an empty building
We don’t want another dollar general when there is already one a few miles away.

We need a store like this like we need a hole in our heads!! To even consider this is complete folly. The traffic patterns would be insane and there is NO NEED for more commercial development in this area. Our night skies are much more precious than development like this. OPPOSED!!!
