Stewart – East Stewart real estate owners can lose some of their rights on Thursday at a special meeting of the city committee in their neighborhood.
These rights include the ability to build what they want without the approval of the city committee. By taking rights, some commissioners hope to prevent improvement in East Stewart, often a black society.
“The East Stewart Society does not want its residents of three -storey ABACOA.
Instead, the city’s commissioners will require real estate owners to come in front of them to obtain permission to build anything but the homes of a single family, and duplexes consisting of two floors and an attached housing units.
Real estate owners will need the approval of the City Committee to build apartments and buildings with a mixture of residential and commercial uses.
What East Stewart wants
Society may be well, at least, according to one of the residents who speaks to its neighbors.
“This is a residential community and this is what we want to stay on,” said Albert Brinkley, who was upset with the noise made by the new East Stuart.

Resident Albert Brencley gives his view on the upcoming vote on development and property rights in East Stewart to Mayor Campbell Rich at the Tenth Street Society Center on Wednesday, February 19, 2025. Deputy Mayor Christopher Collins said on Tuesday in a direct discussion on Facebook, that he wanted to restore the nature of the one -family Stewart one family. Collins added that the developers want the land for “A Little City Place, in the city center, truly for Brightline”, referring to the proposed Brightline station in the center of Stewart near the Martin Provincial Court.
Collins said that the company that manufactured the gutters was allowed to open because the land was a custom commercial. If the City Committee passes the proposed changes to East Stuart, this can be avoided.
But the proposed changes to deny the building of the apartments can also be used, which are more affordable for most people.
Are changes racist?
Mayor Campbell Rich said the proposed changes are racist.
Rich said that any other place in Stuart will face real estate owners the same restrictions as in East Stewart.
“It is a difficult and expensive process,” said Rich about the proposed requirements. He said that it is possible that real estate owners in East Stewart would have to employ a plan and a lawyer and have plans. He added that there is no guarantee of approval of their plans.
East Stewart can then be limited to the homes of a single family, duplexes and dependency housing units. Rich said that the homes of one family are the most expensive kind of housing.
Divide the exclusion areas
Rich said the proposed changes will be the division of exclusion areas. The division of exclusion areas includes “the regulations that restrict the amount and type of housing that is allowed for real estate owners to build on their lands,” according to the Kato Institute, a liberation center.
The most important type of division of exclusion areas “is restricting housing building in an area to houses that include only one family,” according to the Kato Institute.
Commissioner Sean Reed does not agree that the proposed changes are racist. He prefers the homes of one family, an accessory units and building the wealth of generations. He said that living in an apartment does not build any wealth of generations.
Depended by Laura Rambby rejected the comment. Collins, Red and Jiby are the majority of the committee and are usually voted in complete harmony.
