Campbell is currently in the process of annexing the territory, which includes Mozart and Kilmer avenues, between Highway 17, White Oaks Road and Bascom Avenue.

The new classification will apply to the unincorporated territory once it is annexed. It will also permit the construction of a private road in that area, which will be used by the homeowners of a proposed development.

Morley intends to build 24 single-family homes and a private road there.

Not everyone, however, is looking forward to the change. Steve Leder, who represents the owner of two medical buildings on the corner of Mozart and Bascom avenues near the approved annexation, said nearby residents can't make a left turn onto Bascom Avenue from Mozart Avenue, so they take a shortcut through the parking lot of the two medical buildings. And he's concerned that when people begin to occupy the 24 news homes being proposed for the area, the problem will just be compounded.

"They're already going through our private driveway," Leder said. "And people come out of surgery there. It's a safety hazard."

John Howard, who lives on Mozart Avenue—and acknowledged that he uses the driveway to make left turns onto Bascom Avenue—agreed.

"Until they come out with a reasonable proposal about the traffic, stop this development," Howard told the council. "Someone is going to get hurt."

Scott Ward, vice president of co-developer Classic Communities, said that he was aware of the issue and is already working on a solution. He asked the city council to approve the plans so it could go forward with making those changes, which includes a review of the traffic situation.

"If we don't move forward," said Campbell City Councilman Matthew Dean, "the developers can't do anything about the problem."
