[quote=Anonymous]If this is about tax revenue, why is the school taking far more taxable land to put a non-taxable school on?

It's a 33% increase in density over zoning, which is why it requires a PUD.  That's a big deal.  And guess what?  If the higher building height is approved in a special process, then the next time a developer comes in and wants to bust zoning, he points to the extra height PUD as the neighborhood baseline.  The difficulty for Big Development and their front organizations and partners is that people aren't as stupid as they would like to think.  [/quote]

No, the difference is that some people see doom and gloom around 8 stories but not 6. Some people see the revenue benefits to the city with those extra income taxes that can help pay for pay raises to first responders or teachers. Some people see more patronage of local retail with those extra residents, creating more jobs and opportunities.

Others simply want to exclude anyone else from enjoying what they already have.
