Good article.
What would it take for the City to close this loop hole? Is it possible for Council to consider the contradiction that this loophole poses (as it violates what they say are the criteria for density in particular areas according to the comprehensive plan), without waiting for the next major code revisions? I don’t know much about it, but I assume they balk at changing code in a piecemeal way, even if the loophole is causing great damage (which it is).
Just wondering if in your study of this you have insights about what they require in order to make a change? …Years of study? …Blue Ribbon Committees? Or can the Council instruct staff to research the issues, present pros and cons, hear testimony…and then make a decision? I know they do this in other policy areas…
thanks,
Trudy
