Tradition MPUD amendment

A Southgate resident asked the council to reconsider the zoning change, suggested fountains to mitigate sound, and urged the developer to be considerate of protected nesting species along the water.

A resident within 750 feet of the property opposed the residential-to-commercial rezoning, citing lack of transparency, missing traffic and wetland studies, and threats to property values and neighborhood character.

Also living 750 feet from the property, she urged rejection of the rezoning, saying finalized plans should come before any approval and that the 9.4 acres should remain residential to protect wildlife, green space, and home values.

Urged that road/traffic issues at Crosstown and Village Parkway be fixed before any construction, and asked for a higher berm and wall to protect neighbors' privacy.

Wants privacy preserved (taller berm and wall), says the neighborhood already has two access points and doesn't want a through street, and asked the council to deny the commercial application if they can't restrict uses like gas stations.

Opposed the rezoning, citing mature trees, wildlife habitat, property values and overdevelopment; questioned the lack of a site plan for the commercial use.

Doesn't want a third entrance/exit, questioned the engineer's traffic numbers, wants more security, and noted there are already gas stations nearby.
