Why now?
Time is running out. Constellation Real Estate Partners has submitted a permit to build 3 warehouses, totaling 500,000 sq ft..
Current zoning codes never considered light industrial would be next to residential areas, so they allow
24-hour-a-day operations, including trucking operations
No height limits on warehouses that can top 90 feet
No rules to limit noise when built next to residences
No limits on fumes or pollution from diesel trucks
Incompatible operations like “Sexually Oriented Businesses” and trucking distribution centers to be built next door to churches, schools, parks, and homes
JeffCo is updating its regulations right now. Our community will be a casualty of old zoning codes that don’t protect neighborhoods from incompatible industrial development.
Studies worldwide have shown that living near loud noise and pollution increases breathing and heart problems in nearby people.
Two years ago, this same community determined distribution and trucking should not be allowed next to communities. We are the same people with the same infrastructure and health concerns. This issue affects the entire county.
