  • The inhabitants of Tallahasee are concerned about the proposed updates of the comprehensive plan of the city and the county, fearing increased development near residential areas.
  • The plan that dictates the guidelines for growth and development usually causes a debate on the category of land use and their potential impact on existing districts.

The specter of greater development in Tallahassee persecuted the meeting this week and – which is not surprising – the inhabitants were terrified.

After decades of the conflict between the building and the real estate community and neighbors, one woman summarized the feelings of many, saying that she did not “want … wawa” appearing next to her home.

Over 20 people packed the conference room at the Renaissance Center on Tuesday evening during the first of several public comments in the growing city of the city and the purpose of the Ferrity to Update their common comprehensive planOfficial growth plan.

But this meeting was more about asking questions and raising concerns about things such as new pavements and roads, unlike unrestricted indignation, because sometimes development meetings may explode.

Residents, land management planning and the improvement of the community (place), commissioner of the city of Jack Porter and other city staff completed a small room for the workshop of the Tallahasee-Leon Ferrial Farris Agency. The workshops appeared only a few weeks after The unit voted in favor of the extension of the time axis For more information, because siblings work work to update what is called in the zone as a “computer plan”. Meanwhile, the city clung to the original time axis.

. comprehensive plan Is “State document to provide standards When it comes to community growth management. “Plan of the Tallahasee complex and Leon County defines everything from” Greenways Master and Plan Greenways “to” Code of Land Development ” – a trigger point for many residents.

The updated plan the proposed plan has a chance for its full acceptance, the need for a seal of approval by local and even governmental authorities. Despite the long process, residents are concerned about the development of cities, and several proposed categories of land use as part of the Comp plan allows development near residential areas.

Brewing Clash Midtown?

Before the meeting, the alliance of Tallahasee districts led the residents to show a meeting to speak against the proposed changes that can increase the density and type of development in the Tallahasee central communities.

“If your area is in Aqua (or for some heaven), your area is in trouble,” wrote an alliance on Facebook. “If the changes in the comprehensive plan take place in accordance with the proposal, it will allow Niemszki, commercial development among our residential districts and double the allowed density to AKR.”

A handful of proposed categories of land use allows for flowering of development, but they show that the new growth is aimed at increasing existing districts.

One of these categories, “Urban Neighborhood”, states that all “German applications in the neighborhood are allowed and intended for integration with the area.” Another category, “Urban General”, is “essentially a city area, with a mix of housing options and significant applications related to apartments and support.”

Although these descriptions do not help in the fears of the inhabitants, some areas are aimed at receiving new category markings: “The future category of land use in the city center is completely unacceptable for us. This is contrary to what he recommended (stakeholder committee in the city center), “said Jake Varn, chairman of the group. “I think that people in the city center want a future land use map because it currently exists.”

The future land use map would change the midtown classification from “Central Urban” to “urban residential”, which “aims to provide housing applications with low and medium density with accessories for commercial use on a scale in the vicinity of small or medium blocks, which are defined by walking streets.”

The latest point Flashpoint Midtown appears only a few days after the Transport Department in Florida Project of the BluePrint intergovernmental agency This would create a more walking in the city center at the expense of construction, which according to some company owners can force them to close.
