Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Commissioners, and Community Development Department,
I'm writing today to express my support for the Bon Ton neighborhood's Rezoning Proposal. Having more
consistent zoning across the entire historic district will allow for more appropriate infill development in keeping
with the character of this part of our City.
It is notable that this is a nationally recognized historic district. In support of the Bon Ton neighborhood, we firmly
believe that the current City zoning proposal to R4 would be totally inappropriate due to resulting loss of historic
value of this neighborhood and the increase in negative environmental impact. The R-A proposal being made by
this neighborhood is well supported by adopted City plans, goals and current policy documents.
The residents spent hundreds of hours organizing and drafting this proposal and that should be honored in the UDC
update.
Thank you,
Alan and Emily Hooker
