Please sign this petition to stop development of apartments at the Hilltop Shopping center (PC19-LE-005)!

The Landsdowne, Island Creek, and Hawthorne Boards of Directors voted to officially oppose a proposed development intended to construct residential apartments located in the Hilltop Village area. The space is currently serving as the parking lot adjacent to Panda Express and was originally zoned for commercial use. The new proposal seeks to rezone the area for five story multi-family residential use apartments.

The BOD is concerned that the development will negatively impact our communities in multiple ways and eventually reduce property values. Specifically:

1. The increased residential use is not proportional with the open space and amenities currently servicing the area. 

2. The increased traffic as a safety and congestion issue. 

3. Parking concerns, especially extended use of Landsdowne and adjacent streets without additional investment (lights, curbsides etc.). 

4. Concern that the type and size of the planned development does not fit with the surrounding community (town-homes and single-family homes vs. apartments).
