Well, there are of course quality of life issues for the neighborhood, but, for people really interested in the environment, cramming as many people as possible as close to each mass transit station as possible is really the way to go.
Just my opinion and I live in between two of these transit station zoning districts and not in one, but I think someone needs to state the obvious that having a transit station surrounded by mostly single family housing is not an ecologically friendly zoning plan.
Hear Hear Paul. I personally think this isn’t nearly aggressive enough. I live within this rezone and would love to see much more extensive 65′ areas. This will make the neighborhood more vibrant because it will be able to support more local businesses.
Also, just because the zoning changes doesn’t mean the neighborhood will change overnight. Single family homes will remain for years before development happens. So folks who live in those homes now don’t necessarily have to be concerned about their situation changing immediately.
[...] are welcome. This meeting is in advance of the DPD’s public hearing scheduled for Wednesday, February 29, to discuss the rezoning. See more about the rezoning proposal at the DPD project page. Share this:EmailStumbleUponFacebook [...]
