At a public hearing on a rezoning proposal to change land from PR3 to a planned residential district, resident Andrew Queen of 423 Oakland Hills Loop told meeting officials he was concerned about the proposed density and its impact on local schools.

"The proposal is proposing 7.3 units per acre of townhomes," Queen said, adding that the application referenced four units per acre as code. He thanked staff for sending notice of the proposal and said recent ballot discussions about population and school impacts should be taken seriously.

Queen said he has two school-aged children and expressed worry that increased density could strain schools and lower nearby property values. He also raised a possible link between townhomes and higher crime rates but acknowledged, "I don't have any details to back that up." He encouraged council members to consider these impacts when they take up the rezoning at the later council meeting.

No other members of the public signed up to speak at this hearing. After the public comment period, a member moved to adjourn/recess until the 7:00 p.m. council meeting ("Motion by Eric"), the motion was seconded by Jay, and the presiding speaker called for those in favor; the chair recorded an "Aye" and confirmed the meeting would reconvene at 7:00 p.m.

The public hearing provided a single resident perspective on the rezoning application, highlighting neighborhood concerns about unit density, school capacity and property values; there was no formal action on the rezoning itself at this session. The item is scheduled for further discussion at the council meeting later the same evening.
