[quote=Anonymous]Smart growth is great. It would be great if GDS or someone else built a smart growth project on the Martens site. But smart growth is specifically not throwing out the zoning overlay. Houston is the best example of an urban area which does not zone -- and it is certainly not an example of smart growth. Perhaps the zoning overlay does need to be changed. But I would argue that any development over current regulations should be forced to pay for improvements to the neighborhood to at least maintain current services. Just as a suburban developer must often pay for roads and schools, urban developers should not be able to free ride on the existing community. Janney/Deal/Wilson and the urban street grid are not infinite resources. [/quote]
