Friendswood Planning and zoning 1306 Deepwood Friendswood, Texas 77.546 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, cc, Mayor Ralph Lowe Friendswood.City Council Sincerely, w/1,\. -1-rn�rLJ Lang t, c­wm. & Mary Langdoc
