[quote=Anonymous]How likely is it that the current proposals will remain as is? Thinking specifically about multi unit housing being allowed in SFH neighborhoods, as long as it abides by current FAR ratios, height restrictions, etc.

As they currently stand, they're not so objectionable, but some city council and planning commission members seemed to want far more. Is it likely that they will be modified further to allow for more density, which for the record I oppose. The staff presentation seemed to indicate these recommendations were developed in response to community feedback and our environmental priorities. If that's the case, I'll be pretty pissed if all of the sudden they get revised to allow for 7 story apartment complexes on R8 lots.

Not that my opinion will matter of course, just trying to figure out how frustrated to gear myself up to be. I say this as someone who feels very much in the middle on this issue, but recognizes that any opposition in this town can be seen as heresy.
