We reference our March 5 <br />Spreadsheet of Standards which addresses and critiques standards in summary fashion. <br /> <br />We ask that the HO keep a few Big Picture points in mind when working her way through the <br />details of this final argument. <br /> <br />This is a proposal to infill on R-1 land that is surrounded by land developed with similar <br />uses and at similar densities. This is where the City, as a matter of policy, has determined <br />that development should happen. <br /> <br />The density proposed here is well below what is allowed by the plan and the zone, and it <br />is at about the density the City assumes in its Buildable Land Inventory will be put on <br />land in this part of town. <br /> <br />South Hills PUDs trigger a raft of discretionary standards, which offer opponents a long <br />list of things to complain about and a long list of avenues opponents can take to argue we <br />all issues in the eyes of all neighbors. Getting a proposal together that attracts a positive <br />staff report is a major accomplishment. <br /> <br />We have a recommendation for approval from staff, subject to conditions. The applicant <br />can live with all the conditions. <br /> <br />With those points as an introduction, we offer the following argument. <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION OF PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT REQUEST <br /> <br /> <br />This development proposal is accurately described in the Staff Report at page 4. <br /> <br />
