I am writing to the Community Development Board to express my strong opposition to the
proposed R-B zoning for the Hanson Lane annexation,Application 25775. Having lived on
Daisy Drive for over a decade, I have watched Harvest Creek grow into a wonderful, quiet
community. This proposal feels like textbook spot zoning. Placing five-story, forty-five-foot
tall buildings directly adjacent to our single-family homes is completely out of character with
the existing R-1 and R-2 landscape. R-A zoning would much more appropriately satisfy the
city's growth goals without destroying the character of our neighborhood. My biggest concern
involves the extension of Annie Street into a through street. Children attend school nearby
and use these roads every single day. Without significant traffic calming measures, this creates
a dangerous raceway right where kids walk and bike. As someone who regularly walks
through this area, I already worry about safety, and adding this level of density without
adequate transit or local services will only make it more hazardous. I urge you to recommend
R-A zoning to maintain the safety and livability of our community.
