[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the backdoor change to local zoning authority that the MM housing proposal will provide for any land owned by non-profits

A LOCAL JURISDICTION MAY NOT IMPOSE ANY UNREASONABLE LIMITATION
OR REQUIREMENTS ON A QUALIFIED PROJECT UNDER THIS SUBTITLE, INCLUDING
LIMITATIONS ON OR REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING:
(1) HEIGHT; (2) SETBACK; (3) BULK;

[/quote]

Eh? Do you want local jurisdictions to be able to impose unreasonable limitations or requirements on projects? Why would you want that?[/quote]

Jesus ... you are being intentionally dense or evasive, [b]there is no concrete definition of what unreasonable is in this law. [/b]It is also a very subjective standard that is ripe for abuse by developers. It will be abused and county will strong-armed into approving unreasonable waiver requests  by developers threatening lawsuits. [/quote]

I am not a lawyer, and even I know that "reasonable" and "unreasonable" show up all over the place in all kinds of laws, and people who deal with those laws know how to deal with it.

There are a lot of lawsuits over the word "reasonable" it's subjective. [/quote]
