Multiple residents told the zoning board they opposed the proposed recovery home at 417 East Oregon Street, saying the area is single‑family in character and expressing concerns about children and neighborhood safety.

Several neighbors addressed the ZBA during public testimony, urging the board to preserve the single‑family character of the R‑2 district and raising concerns about proximity to a dog park and children. One resident said, "We don't we don't need anything else," expressing opposition to additional group‑living uses in the neighborhood.

Speakers asked the board to ensure whatever decision is made protects the neighborhood's character.
