Retirement homes and villages code changes

Asked the commission to grandfather his Legends at Louis Avenue project on Liberty Road, which he says was uniquely affected, and urged changes to the commercial density limit, indoor amenity requirements, and the four-foot sidewalk buffer.

Thanked the commission for the July 15 work session, reaffirmed the need for grandfathering of five plans in process, and criticized the fast-moving process and lack of notice for updated draft postings.

Reported his team spent 10 hours on comments only to find an updated draft posted without notice; raised issues with the use table, fire access road language, open space calculations, and said Winnifred Manor couldn't be built under these standards.

A long, passionate testimony criticizing rushed zoning changes made without public involvement, the unaffordable Nells Acres-type products, failing intersections, parking and EMS access problems, and loss of public trust in government.
