Zoning Changes -- The City is proposing zoning changes which will directly affect the Association. They are proposing changing the current zoning for the Recreation Center from B-1 (business) to R-3.5 (residential).

Another proposed change is the lot in which the Association plans to use for composting, plant nursery, equipment storage, etc. They propose a change from AG-1 (agriculture) to P-2 (preservation). When Mr. Wegesend spoke to Tim Hata with the City, Mr. Hata seemed receptive to our concerns with the proposed changes. Mr. Wegesend will provide comments to the proposal by the August 15, 1999 deadline as it relates to the Association. HCDCH will be providing comments to other zoning changes within the Villages.
