Attempting to allow mixed-use development in a commercial zone, City of Salem planners have been blasted for potential negative impacts to business: "The 12th Street business owners foresee their new residential neighbors complaining to authorities about the natural noise, smell and grime that comes from doing business.

Others see the commercial area in need or revitalization.
