From: To: Subject: Date: Sean Duer Boudreaux, Marcelle Concern Regarding Zoning Case C14-2024-0163 – 1700 S. Lamar Tuesday, July 22, 2025 11:54:30 AM You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Ms. Boudreaux and Members of City Council, I am writing as a resident of the Sage Condominiums, which directly border the southern edge of the proposed rezoning site at 1700 South Lamar (Zoning Case C14-2024-0163). I want to express my appreciation for the City’s ongoing efforts to promote increased housing options and support transit-oriented development. At the same time, I would like to share my concerns regarding the proposed height allowance and its potential impact on the character and livability of our neighborhood. The proposed DB90 zoning would permit structures up to 90 feet in height. From my home, this would likely result in a significant loss of the open views that currently provide light, a sense of space, and overall quality of life—factors that also contribute to property value. I respectfully urge the City to consider implementing a step-down height transition on the southern edge of the site, or to require a height limitation or setback that minimizes the visual and spatial impact on adjacent residences. At the very least, I ask that the developer be required to submit detailed site plans and visual renderings prior to any final approvals, so that residents can fully understand the scale and implications of the proposed changes. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I would also appreciate being notified of any upcoming hearings or public engagement opportunities related to this case.
