To Commissioner Christine King and esteemed commissioners:
This letter comes to you from the Buena Vista East Historic
Neighborhood Association. We stand in support of our
neighbors, Buena Vista Heights and oppose any up -zoning or
land use changes for the properties located at 39 NW 39th
Street, 40 NW 39th Street, and 48 NW 39th Street.
We are in agreement with the Planning Department to deny the
request for up zoning from T3-L to T4-L. The entire City of
Miami is struggling with affordable housing, and upzoning any
residential properties to commercial sets a dangerous precedent.
We are in opposition to designating this land use as T3-0, as
once again that sets a precedent for intrusion into residential
areas. Permitting such up -zoning sets precedent for others to do
the same to the detriment of homeowners. The city doesn't have
a lack of office space, and in fact, T3-L does allow for some
types of small business, but permitting this zoning change places
the burden on residential neighbors as well as setting up
remaining neighbors to fight off further encroachment into
residential areas. Again, we ask that you deny any sort of
upzoning.
We are also gravely concerned with the limit on public
commentary during morning hours of meetings. Many residents
are unable to comment due to work requirements. We urge you
to consider adopting a way for members of the public to voice
concerns in person during afternoon or evening hours during
commission meetings, permitting us to petition our causes in a
more expedient manner.
Respectfully,
Robin Porter, President
Buena Vista.East Historic Neighborhood Association
