July 5, 2011 To: Krista Hampton, Planning and Development Services Director From: Jenna Stephens, Rosewood Community Council President Re: Rosewood neighborhood Community Character protection I am writing to request a two-year extension for the Interim Measures for Community Character Protection currently in force in the Rosewood neighborhood. City Council approved the temporary overlay in August 2009, and it is set to expire in August 2011. During this period the Rosewood Community Council leadership has been working to determine what permanent protections or “design overlay” to seek. We have continued to discuss the overlay at our quarterly meetings. Because Rosewood is a large area, we have had difficulty communicating with as many people in the neighborhood as we had hoped to by this time. Additionally, in the spring of this year, the opportunity arose to coordinate with Planning and Development Services staff on a comprehensive study of Rosewood commercial corridor and residential districts. The goal is to develop long-term development recommendations and guidelines to protect and enhance our vibrant neighborhood, which includes residential, commercial, recreational, and industrial districts. Recommendations from this process will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council, and are likely to affect planning and zoning decisions in the Rosewood area. Additional time would also allow us to incorporate this study into a determination of the most appropriate “community character” guidelines. Rosewood neighborhood leaders, Jenna Stephens, Rebecca Munnerlyn, Bessie Watson, Michele Huggins, and Bob Amundson have been involved in a series of four meetings with City staff including John Fellows, Jeff Crick, Krista Hampton of Planning and Development Services, Fred Delk of Columbia Development Corporation, Rachel Smith and Debi Schadel of the Greater Rosewood Merchants Association, and Chris Eversman of the Hamilton-Owens Airport. We are looking forward to participating in community input meetings in the next months, and then working with City staff to develop a final plan. We feel it is appropriate to postpone final action on Community Character Protection until we’ve made further progress with the Rosewood Corridor plans. We are committed to proceeding with all expediency in this process. Thank you for your consideration.
