One thought on “Goal to rezone city to match future land use designations”
It has come to my attention that there is a move afoot to change the zoning of Oregon Hill from R-7 to mixed use. It is my understanding that this will allow both a greatly increased level of commercial use and it will also allow for the introduction of high rises. As a long time resident (over ten years) in Oregon Hill I have come to appreciate the unique qualities of this area and do not want to see it destroyed. There are already plenty of areas in the city that are being used in a mixed capacity, surely the addition of one more such area will not greatly impact the city as a whole, but it will be the end of one of the city’s most interesting neighborhoods. I urge you to not make this neighborhood’s zoning mixed use.
