Oppose Rezoning & Over Development in Wellington Equestrian Preserve
Why this petition matters
Removing land from the Equestrian Preserve will not expand and improve the Equestrian Facilities and Industry as advertised but it will increase traffic congestion by allowing high density housing and more retail. If one parcel in the Preserve is allowed to rezone to high density residential then how can the Village stop other landowners from demanding the same which would eventually force the equestrians out. Many non-equestrians along with equestrians move to Wellington to enjoy the lifestyle and quality schools which are a direct result of the impact of the abundant equestrian activities. The equestrian industry is one of the biggest revenue drivers for the Village and County, year after year, bringing in dollars close to the level of what some cities receive only once if they host a Super Bowl ($300-$600 million). This lifestyle and revenue will cease if the equestrian community has to relocate to another part of Florida because there will no longer be enough land in Wellington to support the infrastructure required for world class equestrian competition. Wellington's unique status as the "Equestrian Capital of the World" will transition to "typical Florida bedroom community".
