Project Address 31-33 Marion Ave
Comments Our neighborhood association, representing over 30
homeowners in this neighborhood, has submitted public
comments. I ask you to please look at those.
This project is inconsistent with the Zoning Ordinance.
- One of the lots is zoned residential, not TRB.
- This project, by extending the commercial uses onto a
residential lot produces an undesirable change in the character
of the neighborhood and is a detriment to nearby properties.
- The assertion by Stewart's that they can extend the TRB
boundary by 100 feet inaccurate and this entire application
should be rejected.
- The boundary between residential and commercial districts is
clear.
This project is inconsistent with the 2015 Comprehensive Plan.
- The entire Marion Ave corridor is designated residential
neighborhood (RN-2), "Characterized by single family
residential uses with moderate density two family....Small,
neighborhood-scale commercial uses may currently exist to
complement the residential uses."
The retail uses in this proposal do not currently exist in this RN-
2 neighborhood, and >7000 square feet of retail space is not
small, neighborhood scale, and does not complement the
residential uses.
I ask you to reject this entire proposal, for the reasons stated.
