[quote=Anonymous]Is this the smart growth line? That it would be worse if there was mixed-use on the Safeway site?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]

The zoning for where the school is now is R-2, which the school could build to a height of 60 feet by right.  The Safeway lot is C-2-A, which could be built to 50 feet.  The Wisconsin lot is C-2-B, which could be build to 60 feet.  What GDS was basically proposing was to shift its rights to build on those lots per zoning rules towards Wisconsin Avenue, so that there would be lower height on the SFH end of the school and more along the urban corridor.  Sure - give community input.  But recognize that if those plans get rejected someone, whether GDS or a subsequent purchaser, may just exercise its rights and build up to the lot limits on each of the parcels, which is likely to be worse for everyone.[/quote]

The immediate neighbors seem to not understand that GDS could sell the parcels tomorrow, and someone else will maximize the property by matter of right and it WOULD be worse for everyone involved.[/quote][/quote]
