Re -zoning from low density to high density in Flour Bluff
N/A
The proposed re -zoning of for the Roscher development should not be allowed. These
are sensitive live oak/red bay habitats that provide for wildlife throughout the year. This
habitat provides for threatened and endangered species and should be protected.
Furthermore, the existing infrastructure in the back of Flour Bluff will not support the
proposed increase in homes, and the people that will come with that. Our roads barely
support the homes that already exist. Most of us that live in this area, do so because it is
quiet and not crowded. The last thing we want is high density houses all around us. This,
combined with the Yorktown development and the proposed Sweet Bay development,
would cause a large influx in traffic, further damaging the already compromised roads. At
some point, we will have to make informed decisions based on the facts presented,
rather than chasing tax dollars. These areas are valuable left intact and should not be
rezoned to allow for high density residential.

The Flour Bluff Community has been heavily involved and spent inordinate amounts of
time working with the City on the Area Development Plan adopted on June 22, 2021. The
ADP, its discussions and its use must be the backbone of any decisions considered or
made by the City Council, City employees or Commissions. In the ADP (page 14), Flour
Bluff is generally opposed to high density residential areas, e.g. RS -4.5. Development
Services, the Planning Commission, the Zoning Board of Adjustment, City Management
and City Council needs to get onboard with our ADP and the desires of our community.
The City and City Council must do their jobs and stop violating the ADP! I am asking you
to vote against the Sweet Bay development in Flour Bluff with high density residential
housing, and I implore you to use the developed plans (the ADP). Please do not vote for
zoning changes which are in contrast to the ADP or for additional high-density residential
in Flour Bluff, e.g. Sweet Bay Development.
