Residents firmly oppose Lawndale rezoning bid
A disappointed group of citizens left City Council on Oct. 2 after the council first voted against a continuance, then later allowed a continuance on the matter of rezoning the corner of Lake Jeanette Road and Lawndale Drive. Now the issue is set to be heard on Oct. 16.
The move to continue the matter only stiffened the neighborhood's resistance to the rezoning request. The developer is trying to wear down the neighborhood, refusing to hear the neighborhood's voice, which says very clearly that an office building does not belong in a single-family residential neighborhood, especially one sitting beside major parks.
Hopefully when the matter is finally heard, the council will listen to the neighborhood and reject the proposal to rezone. I ask all those who agree with the neighbors to let council members know their opinions on the matter.
