Help Holy Cross Neighborhood Association Stop This: The Lower Nine needs progressive businesses and growth. Rebuilding our area should be a top priority for the Council, and Gas/Liquor Stores impede positive growth and create unsafe environments. Help stop the approval and come to the Council Meeting, Oct 12th.
We are not in favor, and do not support, the Proposed Conditional Use of both the Gas Station Use and the Retail Sale of Alcohol Beverages Use at this location for the following reasons:
• Gas Station developments do not help in revitalizing neighborhoods
• Package Alcohol & Liquor Stores have documented negative Health and Safety effects on
surrounding communities
• Gas Stations have documented negative Environmental, Health, and Safety effects on surrounding Residential neighborhoods
• 5330 St Claude is a corner site with significant potential for a dense, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use development; this proposed development does not meet and is not compatible with this potential.
• The Conditional Use Proposed does not match the Historic St Claude Main Street Corridor. It does not meet the requirements of the CZO and the Multiple Zoning Overlays on St Claude Avenue.
• The proposed development and Conditional Use does not meet redevelopment goals for St Claude Ave as envisioned by our Community and the City of New Orleans in the many Community Planning Efforts post-Katrina.
Sincerely,
Mr. William Waiters, President
