To the:
Planning and Zoning Commission
I am against the rezoning, from R-8 to R-15 due to the increase in the housing density, which would
negatively impact neighborhood character, property values, and local infrastructure. R15 zoning would
not maintain the quality of life in the existing community.
Higher density R15 will change the established neighborhoods by:
1. Decreasing open spaces, larger yards, and other green areas that are often defining features of R-
8 neighborhoods.
2. Encourages increased absentee ownership by attracting more investors & corporate owners
leading to more rental properties which can destabilize the community & decrease neighborhood
involvement.
3. Higher density brings more residents and vehicles causing traffic congestion and road wear. The
existing infrastructure roads and intersections are not equipped to handle the increased load.
4. Decreased property values and economic concerns.
5. Rezoning would introduce commercial or multi-family land uses that are incompatible with the
surrounding low-density, single-family homes.
6. Increased noise, traffic, and loss of privacy could make the neighborhood less appealing to
homeowners.
