I find it interesting, disturbing, and puzzling that the local residents' wishes are considered legally irrelevant to this issue in a so-called democratic society. The zoning for this area, including the corner lot zoned for commerce surrounded by residential zoning, was established years ago when (I assume) there were fewer established residents in nearby homes to protest a commercial zone in their midst. Now, it's too late. The inflexibility of the process is unacceptable.
