“I'm going to ask staff to confirm that what I'm about to say is correct. The case will be forwarded to the council with the recommendation, whatever the vote is, regardless of whether it's a vote to approve or a vote not to approve. So you get to go to council. But if it is voted down at the council level, I believe you'd have to wait at least a year before you can present any other project that you can present. Any other buyer can present whatever they want. So you would be the only person that would be limited.”

“To one of the points you made at the very beginning, and that is the goal for the zoning is encourage those things that you want and discourage things that you don't want. It sounds to me like if you're making it more expensive to build, you're discouraging that.”

“Your residential detached districts where you made the limit one plus one, correct? The attached, does that allow two principles, right? It does. Help me understand the logic. Sure. So that's going to have particularly, potentially effects in the fan, museum district, Churchill, things of that nature.”

I don't understand why the difference. And that's why I think there's a potential for a major effect in those districts like the fan museums. Churchill, maybe Oregon Hill, maybe.”

“I would suggest that many of the non-conforming uses in those areas that were built prior to World War II became non-conforming during World War II because of the need for additional housing. You see this doing the same thing?”
