Preserve the Zoning of 691 Highlands Blvd for Single-Family Homes

The Issue

I am a resident of the Highlands area in Savannah, GA, and I am deeply concerned about the proposed re-zoning plan for land located at 691 Highlands Blvd. This land is currently zoned for use as a single-family home neighborhood, and changing this would disrupt our community's way of life.

The proposed re-zoning plan threatens to exacerbate existing issues in our area such as overcrowding in public schools and traffic congestion. Our local schools are already operating at near capacity, with some even exceeding their intended student populations (source: Savannah-Chatham County Public School System data). Introducing more housing units into this area will only add to this problem.

Moreover, traffic congestion is already a significant issue during peak hours on Highlands Blvd (source: Georgia Department of Transportation studies). The addition of potentially hundreds more residents could make these problems significantly worse.

We believe that preserving our neighborhood's character and addressing these pressing issues should be prioritized over any potential development plans. We urge you to reconsider the proposed re-zoning plan for 691 Highlands Blvd and keep it zoned for use as a single-family home neighborhood.

Please sign this petition if you share these concerns about maintaining the quality of life in our beloved community.
