Kings Point residents raise alarm at commission meeting over proposed Kings Court rezoning and late notice
Summary
Residents from Kings Point said they were not adequately notified about a proposed rezoning/lease of the Kings Court property and urged the commission to oppose the plan; commissioners and staff acknowledged notification concerns and said the item would be subject to later agenda review.
At the May 28 public comment period, Kings Point resident Darcy Shiller told the commission she and other residents had not been properly notified about a proposed rezoning or lease of the Kings Court property and urged the commission to oppose the project.
Shiller said the majority of residents oppose leasing the property to a medical operator and criticized late notice to the district commissioner. She said the community would mobilize at a future meeting to seek a “no” vote on the proposal if it advances. The mayor and other commissioners acknowledged the concern; Commissioner Crystal Patterson invited Kings Point residents to local events and said staff and the commission would explore memorial/bench options raised earlier in the meeting.
No formal rezoning or lease vote took place during the May 28 meeting; Shiller’s remarks were part of public comment. The commission did not take immediate formal action on the Kings Court issue that evening, but the comments were entered into the public record and commissioners referred to follow-up through staff and the agenda process.
Provenance (transcript excerpts): "I don't understand... why our commissioner... was not advised of the attempt at the rezoning of Kings Point, Kings Court property..." (topicintro). "That would be like my coming into your house and saying... we'll go ahead and take it over and run a medical center out of it..." (topfinish).
