893 Clinton Avenue, a magnificent historic mansion, has been targeted as a potential site for a homeless shelter. Potential residents will have substance abuse and/or mental health issues severe enough to have led to homelessness. The group has been turned down TWICE by the Zoning Board of Approvals, but they are appealing to the Zoning Commission on the grounds that this shelter will help to "stabilize" our neighborhood where older homes have "outgrown their usefulness." Hearing will take place on Monday, April 26 at 6:45 pm at City Hall. Be there if you want to preserve the historic, residential character of our unique and beloved neighborhood.

This area is zoned single family residential. The city's Master Plan states that the aim of zoning policy is to preserve the quality of our lower density neighborhoods. The homeless shelter would be a very significant density increase for this neighborhood and the change in zoning definitely is incompatible with surrounding uses. It's time for city officials to actually abide by the laws. FIX THIS!

This property is an income producing property. My taxes have increased over 50 percent in the last two years, to take more money off of the city tax income roll and put this in a neighborhood of single family residences makes NO sense!
Changing zonging on the issue of usefulness comes from the idea that cities and towns could use old out of business buildings such as factories into residential properties to create mixed use sections of town, not to do the opposite. Leave our residential area residential!

The function of the Planning & Zoning Commission is to PROTECT ZONING. It would be an egregious error on their part should they allow this crown jewel to be rezoned.
Residents not citizen create a NEIGHBORHOOD. Neighborhoods strengthen communities which in turn will strenghten the City.

I am vehemently opposed to a zoning change to accommodate a homeless shelter in our neighborhood. This is a totally incompatible use that can only be detrimental to our neighborhood. Zoning officials: DENY THIS PROPOSAL!
