I have a friend who needs to fight back against a big home builder, in a big Texas county. She is one of us but can’t post here yet so I’m helping 😁 The meeting is next week and she is preparing/researching. Searching the website showed no opposition to the re-zoning request so she is making sure what she submits shows up as opposition. The homeowners in her neighborhood have banded together and are fighting. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I live in FL and TX and FL are building like crazy to accommodate everyone moving to these 2 states and they are rapidly destroying ranch land In the process. We need to be smarter about development or we won’t be able to grow our food when we don’t have the DS suppressing population growth in the future.
Need to find a land use attorney. It is very hard to stop. The best you can probably hope for is to scale back plans. Remember that developers over ask knowing they will usually have to give back in zoning disputes. If you are in a county desperate for taxes it won't happen. But you need a land use attorney who is a tree hugger. Or a lawyer looking into shortcuts that were taken or steps that were ignored in favor of the developer. I have seen contstruction stop on projects because city attorneys did not follow their own laws. It may take a technicality. Will need a lot of money to fight. Good luck.
