Below is the e-mail that I have sent to the staff at the Planning Commission.

 

If you are opposed to the rezoning, I would urge you to send an e-mail to the  Anita McCaig at the Planning Commission as well.

 

They as well as Councilman Holleman need to hear from us.

Ms. McCaig,

 

I would like to express my opposition to the proposed rezoning request for the market at 46th and Utah.

 

The neighborhood has consistently opposed any commercial expansion along 46th Ave. and Murphy Road.   The current CN zoning already allows for sufficient development of services for the neighborhood.   Any increased zoning will simply put more pressure on the neighborhood from traffic and parking.   

 

During the last two subarea reviews, the Sylvan Park community very explicitly expressed strong that they didn't want to see increased commercial zoning at this location.   So I believe this request is inconsistent with the current sub-area plan.

 

The proper area for development of this intensity is along the Charlotte Ave. corridor which is in need of such development.  This property should remain CN.

 

I would ask that my comments be made part of the record and given to the members of the Planning Commission.

 

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
