RE: Rezone Case Z23070022 - Petition to deny request to change current zoning from A2/R1 to B2 (Conditional Use-RV and Boat Storage). Property located on corner of Old Madison-Monroe Highway and Poplar Street, Monroe, GA behind Bible Baptist Church

The Single-Family Residential/Agriculture (R1/A2) zoning matters to this community. We moved here for the limited commercial, agricultural and residential nature of this immediate area. We request this property remain as originally zoned.

RV and Boat storage does not serve our immediate community (jobs, etc.), brings potential for increased property crime, will add to light pollution from the needed security lighting and will make the property a potential eyesore from individuals outside our immediate community storing RV’s and Boats they don’t want to look at on their own property.

This will potentially decrease our property values and reduce the enjoyment of our homes that we bought with the expectation that the immediate surrounding properties would be utilized as zoned. We have no opposition to the property being used as zoned with the construction of nice single-family homes.

We respectfully request the Walton County, GA Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners decline this rezone request.

Names and contact information will ONLY be used for this petition and will not be shared with any other entities or persons other than the Planning Commission and BOC. Please only sign this electronic petition if you have NOT already signed the written petition. THANKS!

Please plan on attending the September 7, 2023 Planning Commission meeting at 6pm to help support this opposition. Attendance matters to get the commission’s attention!
