RE: Rezoning Request for 242, 243, 563, and 564 Strawberry Hill, Christiansted, St. Croix, from 
R-2 to R-3 
Dear Senate President Potter: 
I am writing to you today as the Principal of Rittenhouse Consulting LLC on behalf of our client, 
Earl Charles, regarding the rezoning of four contiguous parcels located at 242, 243, 563, and 564 
Strawberry Hill, Christiansted, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. As the authorized agent 
representative for Mr. Charles in this matter, I respectfully request an amendment to the Official 
Zoning Map No. SCZ-7 for St. Croix, changing the zoning designation of the property from R-2 
(Residential – Medium density) to R-3 (Residential – High density). 
We have consulted with the Division of Comprehensive Coastal Zone Planning (CCZP) within 
the Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR) and are submitting all required 
documentation for the application. Our proposal is aligned with the community’s residential 
character and is intended to support thoughtful residential development that complies with R-3 
zoning standards. 
We believe this rezoning will allow for appropriate density and development while respecting the 
existing neighborhood context. We are committed to working transparently with CCZP, DPNR, 
and the Legislature throughout the review process.  
Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact 
me at 340- 474-0727. Thank you for your time and kind consideration of this important matter. 
Sincerely, 
 
Alicia Barnes 
Principal
