Hello,
I am writing to strongly encourage the City Commission to adopt a Neighborhood
Empowerment and Preservation ordinance for all existing neighborhoods currently zoned
R-1. Many single-family homeowners have invested in this community for decades, and
their homes should be protected from higher-density building that would block sunlight,
possibly lower property values, and change the character of the place they bought into.
There are places within the city / county where it makes sense to rezone so developers can
erect that type of housing—buyers / renters should know up front what they are choosing,
as it is a lifestyle. For some, a home is the investment of a lifetime, and the single asset /
legacy they have to pass on to those who otherwise could not afford to live here. That is
one aspect of affordable housing I haven’t seen discussed.
Adoption of such an ordinance is a fair, logical piece of the housing issue.
