That proposed amendment, also submitted by the Inn, would have allowed parking for a commercial use on another lot under the same ownership. In the Inn’s case, it would have eased their parking dilemma by allowing parking for the Inn’s guests on a lot created on one of the L.O.M.P. subdivision parcels across the street.
However, it would also disrupt the fringe of a completely residential neighborhood along Blue Ridge Ave. by inserting a commercial use into the area. Though the properties along the west side of Main St. in that block are zoned village mixed use, the parcels behind them are zoned rural residential.'
As Mr. Bailey said, those people bought their properties with the understanding and expectation that it offered the protection of residential zoning. They did not request a rezoning to allow commercial uses, and to allow someone to come in and, in essence, de facto rezone the property to allow commercial uses is wrong.
We agree.
Mr. Bailey’s comments and questions show thoughtful analysis of the questions before the commission. And, he seems willing to listen and consider the points of view of those who disagree. We commend his efforts.
