how to fight a rezoning?
I wrote in my journal that a developer wants to build townhomes and condos on the land right behind our house, land that is currently forested. Grrrr. It's currently zoned for single-family homes, and he's going to have to get it re-zoned to build his current plan on it. Some of the other homeowners are concerned about this development, that it will bring down the value of our houses, and increase traffic around us. I'm willing to take their word for it. They'd prefer to have single family homes. I'd prefer that the developer find himself suddenly overcome by a love for nature and make the whole place into a preserve for deer and woodpeckers.
AAAAUGH!! My bats live in those trees. No more bats. I love those bats, watching them dart around at twilight. Hrumph.
Back to the subject at hand...
Anybody have any experience protesting a re-zoning? What kind of information will the city council be looking for? What sorts of arguments are likely to sway them?
