Finesilver Ranch and Braun Station residents traded emails this past week on a proposed zoning change "to accommodate a residential facility for migrant youth" at the
Protege' Child Development Center property on Ryder Rd near Braun and Old Tezel.
District-7 City Councilman Justin Rodriguez engaged with organizers of
Southwest Key Programs on nearby homeowners' concerns about the "vagueness" and "incompatibility" of the project. Finding no "middle ground," Councilman Rodriguez announced by email yesterday that the non-profit had since "abandoned" their re-zoning request.
According to Southwest Key's website, the non-profit offers "innovative youth justice programs, safe shelters for immigrant children, college prep and alternative schools and workforce services..." Some of the emails and phone calls among residents expressed concern about the impact such a facility might have on community safety and property values.
