Subject: Opposition to Multi-Family Zoning on North Major Drive between Delaware and Folsom
The attached Petition is being preliminary submitted to inform each of you that the majority of the residences of the Fairfield Addition are expressing their opposition to have any land located on North Major drive between Delaware and Folsom rezoned to Multi-Family Zoning.
A copy of the Petition will be submitted to Planning and Zoning once the tract(s) are placed on the Agenda for Public Comments.
Currently the residents of Fairfield and other Subdivisions in the close proximity to Fairfield are being advised of two (2) Projects that have pre-applications already submitted to Texas Department of Housing & Community Affairs for development utilizing the 2013 Competitive Housing Tax Credit Pre-Application Certificate.
The pre-applications currently on file are:
- Westfield Crossing – Pre-Application Number 13179
- Providence on Major – Pre-Application Number 13203
At this time the Fairfield Petition (PDF Attached) has 82 of 88 properties in opposition (93%) that resides in the Fairfield Subdivision.
Furthermore, be it known that the Fairfield Residents that specifically received a notice of an informational meeting for Westfield Crossing by the developer, which was held on Tuesday, February 5, 2013 have each signed the Petition in opposition.
We will continue to collect signatures of opposition up until the time a zoning change is placed on the agenda for Public Comment. We are also aware that the other Subdivisions that are in near proximity to the planned development(s) are collecting signatures in opposition as well.
We respectfully ask that each of you keep the concerns and requests of the constituents and Citizens of The City of Beaumont and Jefferson County in consideration when discussing any advancement of Multi-Family Zoning that may or shall come before a City Council Meeting either Public or Private.
As our elected representatives and management of The City of Beaumont and Jefferson County we thank you in advance for your individual and collective support in our efforts in which we oppose any Zoning Change to Multi-Family Zoning on North Major Drive between Delaware and Folsom
Kindest Regards,
The Residences of Fairfield Subdivision
Note: The petition as well as letters of support from Barrington and Westchase Village were attached to the email.
