Regarding project #21337, Canyon Gate ANNEX/ZMA.
In this development, the proposed zoning is dramatically different from the R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods
directly adjacent to it. Once land is annexed to the city and re-zoned, developers are free to pursue the
maximum allowable commercial and residential densities and building heights and the minimum allowable
park designations. This development will undoubtedly change the nature of this area and will impact traffic,
mountain views, population density, wildlife habitat, night skies, and noise levels.
A few reasons I oppose this proposed rezoning:
- Zoning is not consistent with the existing neighborhood
- This is not family housing, but luxury second home condos and commercial space
- The Stockyards has already been preliminarily approved for mixed used commercial and the Cannery
District is only one mile away. How much more mixed used commercial do we need in this area?
- Open space for this is below minimum standards, and designed solely for drainage. The developer plans
on doing cash in leu of open space and parks.
- This will make the entrance to Bridger canyon multi-story commercial and multi-story residential buildings
rather than views of the M and Canyon.
- It will increased traffic in an area with no plans for an over/underpass of the railroad tracks.
- The commercial access is through residential streets. The proposed development plan appears to divert
traffic into quiet, family streets (One street dead ends into an alley)
- There is no consideration for the natural wildlife corridor between the Story Hills and Bridger Creek.
Please reconsider the desire to substantially increase density in this area that is surrounded by R-1 and R-2
zoning. The maximum density for this area should not be greater than R-3. Development of islands within
the city and county should thoughtfully reflect the character of the adjacent neighborhoods and not line
the pockets of developers.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
