The Highlands opposes rezoning for self-storage
On April 16, Guilford County commissioners will vote on rezoning for 1226 Guilford College Road that, if passed, will have an adverse affect on our properties. We live in The Highlands, which is directly behind the property. The proposal is to rezone it to light industrial for self-storage warehouses.
The Highlands is a well-established residential neighborhood where we and others have chosen to live. There are a neighborhood bank, grocery store and small shops nearby, but no industrial property anywhere near us. Please help us convince commissioners that we want to keep our neighborhood residential so that our homes maintain their value.
Due to the recession, our homes are all that many of our residents have left. If allowed, other industrial uses won’t be far behind, which will certainly detract from the beauty of our neighborhood and ultimately hurt property values.
