Harmony Shields Rezoning
Dear Mr. Gloss,
My wife and I along with our two children live in the Westbury subdivision
(1219 Mariposa Ct.), which is within the prescribed notification area for
the requested rezoning of the property on the northwest corner of shields
and harmony. I was unable to attend the neighborhood meeting regarding the
request to rezone the property, and I am unsure whether I will be able to
attend the planning and zoning meeting on Thursday. Accordingly, I am
sending you a brief message detailing my point of view on the issue.
As you well know, with any rezoning request, some individuals stand to gain
and others lose. We moved into our home with a clear understanding of the
zoning of the adjacent properties. While we would have preferred a lower
density zoning, we decided that the MMN zoning that is currently in place
for the south -side of the property in question, provided an adequate buffer
between the NC zoned area (to the north) and our neighborhood. It is
extremely frustrating to have purchased our property with this understanding
and to now be at risk of losing this MMN "buffer." Clearly, our property
value and the quality of our experience in our neighborhood would be
adversely impacted by the zoning change.
Perhaps the change would benefit some neighborhoods to the west. However,
these residents to the west should have been aware of the current zoning
prior to purchasing their homes. If they were not aware, and failed to
adequately research the zoning of the adjacent (undeveloped) property, that
is unfortunate, but beside the point. They could have decided not to
purchase a home that is relatively close to an NC designation, as we would
have if the NC designation was closer to our property (as is being
proposed).
A city plan and associated zoning was in place when we purchased our
property, and in our opinion, it is unfair to make this change.
Thanks for your consideration of this point -of -view and I would appreciate
it if you would strongly represent our perspective during your presentation
to the Planning and Zoning board.
Sincerely,
