Subject, Rezoning of Lot NW-4 TR
As the owners of a lot fronting on the southeast side of
FM23.51 just east of the intersection with Melody Lane, and
homeowners on Royal Court just off FM2351, we have a great
inte rest in the zoning of property in the area along FM2J.51,
The proposed rezoning of lot NW-4TR for the specific use as a
veterinary clinic is not objectionable to us, but we a.re m_ost
anxious to see that this variance is not taken as a precedence
for allowing general commerical rezoning of the residential areas
along FM2J.51,
More particularly we would not want this change to be viewed
as opening the door for commerical rezoning and de velopment of
he area on the northwest side of FM2J51 between Melody Lane and
the Enchanted. WoQ_ds subdivision, There have been unsuccessful
attempts in the past to rezone portions of this ar ea, and undoubtedly
• 'l•:;,.r, ·. . will be renew ed ef f ortff'· in: ·;the ,fat!(·t< .. ;. ; ,: !.; ut'g� that any rezoning a:t·tempt
fu �ure. However, we strongly
�e rejected. Th�re is an obligation
-�� . ;:, . . on the 'pa.r.t..A of the cl ty to the homeowners of the area to provide
long term continuity of the neighborh ood as a residential area.
Pa st attempts to rezone this part of FM2J.51 have been strongly
opp osed by. the adjacent civic association, and you certainly
can expect local opposition to remain strong, In addition,
Fl l.51 cannot adequately handle an increase d traffic flow I and
. \. t ·e are st1ll_plenty of other undeveloped areas within the
city which do not abut residential ne ighborhoods,
In summary, we do not oppose the specific rezoning currently
before you, but urge that this change not be taken as an opening
for com merical rezoning along FM2351, and request that the
Plan ning and Zoning Commission re iterate their support for the
existing zoning plan which reserves the northwest side of FM2J.51
between Meldoy Lane and Enchanted Woods as a residential area,
