I have no firsthand experience with SPACE, but I do find peregrine's post elegant, well-stated and compelling. I don't have possession of the facts to decide who is being the more truthful. I'm simply saying that peregrine hardly writes like a crank or a person who doesn't understand the situation.
If someone built a performing arts center and had all these other activities next to my house, I would hate it. I know that. I think it would be nice if each subdivision had a community center, a center set aside for events. I also think there should be some commercial zoning to serve each area. Then if people want to buy next to that zoning, that's their choice.
I do not think private property owners in ag or residential property should set up large scale operations that bring crowds. Only if each person in the area signed on for it. It's like having a neighbor who throws insanely large parties all the time.
I believe that if you're going to have a special use situation in a residential community that you should keep it in the confines of the parcel(s) you own. The noise, the parking, the traffic. To claim that one place should be allowed to overwhelm the community in the name of community seems self-serving to me.
Lucky for SPACE I won't be having a voice in this one as I don't live there. [8D]
