We adamantly disagree with this action and request you reconsider this flagrant disregard of existing, and neighborhood compatible, designation. You are removing property that is in a Federally designated Historical Neighborhood and located at the base of Blunn Creek. Removing these parcels of land is like “removing your umbrella in a rainstorm”. They protect the boundaries of a very delicate neighborhood eco-system. Please consider also that Income Restricted Development will uproot existing low cost housing, which displaces our current residents Please postpone your vote to allow for further input from our neighborhood. Removing FLUM will affect Multiple Land Use Areas not just ONE. And using ETOD as a justification is just not valid. Respectfully. Anita R.

II); and Whereas Area 8, south of Saint Edward's University and bounded by South Congress Avenue and Ben White Boulevard, is contained within the geographical boundaries of SRCC (SRCC Bylaws, Art. III); and Whereas a proposed amendment to the City's Future Land Use Map (FLUM) provides that Area 8 be removed from the existing Saint Edwards Neighborhood Plan and placed in a new FLUM for the South Congress Transit Center Station Area Vision Plan; and Whereas excluding the residents of Area 8 from the Saint Edwards Neighborhood Plan in the existing FLUM and placing it in a new Transit Center FLUM would affect Area 8 residents by, inter alia, introducing uses inconsistent with quiet enjoyment of their residential neighborhood and diminishing the value of their residential dwellings; and 34 NPA-2025-0022.01 - Neighborhood Plan Amendment; District 32 of 8 Whereas excluding Area 8 from the existing FLUM and placing it in a new Transit Center FLUM would affect the character of SRCC neighborhood generally and shrink its boundaries without SRCC’s consent or approval; and NOW, THEREFORE, for all the foregoing reasons, be it resolved that the SRCC Neighborhood Association opposes any amendment of the FLUM affecting the use of land currently governed by the Saint Edwards Neighborhood Plan, also known as SRCC Area 8.
