Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Ms. Boudreaux and Members of City Council, I’m writing as a resident of the Sage condos who lives along the southern edge of the proposed rezoning site at 1700 South Lamar (Zoning Case C14-2024-0163). I appreciate the City’s efforts to support increased housing and transit-oriented development, but I have concerns about the proposed height and its direct impact on the livability and character of our neighborhood. The proposed DB90 zoning would allow buildings up to 90 feet tall. From my home, this would likely block the open views I currently enjoy—views that contribute significantly to the sense of light, space, and overall quality of life on the southern edge of this site. Not to mention, the value of the property. I respectfully ask the City to consider a step-down height transition on the southern portion of the site, or some form of height limitation or setback to reduce the visual impact on neighboring homes and protect view corridors. At the very least, I hope the developer is required to provide a clear site plan and renderings before approval, so residents can understand the extent of the visual changes. Thank you for your time and for considering the real-world impacts these decisions have on residents. I would appreciate being notified of any future hearings or opportunities to participate.
