It has been recommended by one of our own that each resident prepare a letter of opposition to the Show Business Overlay Rezoning Application RZ 11-0628 signed and will add weight to the level of opposition to this rezoning from as many of the communities surrounding Tropical Acres, and outlying areas, as possible.
The letter should be addressed to:
Zoning Hearing Officer
PGM - Zoning Hearing Section
P.O. Box 1110
Tampa, FL 33601
RE: RZ 11-0628 Oppostion
It should start out with an introduction, like, "I am a resident of Colonial Hills, a community of 101 homes in Riverview, Florida.
Please keep your points of reason for opposition factual, concise, relevant, and politically correct. Some good points to consider including in your letter (but certainly not limited to), are:
- Incompatibility with the land zoning as laid out in the Unincorporated Hillsborough County Community Plan for Riverview
- Setting an unwanted precedent for arbitrarily changing the zoning to accommodate and eradicate long-term, illegal, code violations.
- Setting an unwanted precedent for allowing this type of show business overlay rezoning to happen anywhere in the County if allowed in Tropical Acres.
