We are calling on the Tallahassee City Commission to reject the proposed amendment to the Northampton Planned Unit Development (PUD). This amendment threatens a conservation easement and canopy preservation area that has been in place for 40 years, protecting our residential section of Thomasville road from highway commercial development. The application was not sufficiently declared to the community and it ignores a directive from the City to address any changes to the canopy preservation area.

In addition to the direct negative impact on the Saint Ives and Mint Hill neighborhoods, this development would complicate the already strained traffic pattern at the major intersection of Thomasville Road and Kerry Forest Parkway, impacting residents of Tredington Park, Highlands, Pembridge Place, Bull Run, and Killearn Acres.

This amendment raises substantial ethical and legal questions, given that it was misrepresented as a simple rezoning in the notice posted and sent to area residents. Let's stand together to emphasize the importance of following due process and respecting conservation areas that still serve their original purpose. Help us protect our environment, safety, and traffic flow. Please, sign this petition to urge the Tallahassee City Commission to reject the amendment to the Northampton PUD.
