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
