From what I remember, this isn't done most places. <br /><br />Still, I've seen detailed questions asked by commissioners of the applicant, even though there are no plans drawn up at the time. In this meeting, I heard a question about details (like what kind of turf is going to be in the pool area) and that is akin to asking where the cuckoo clock will be going in a house that hasn't been designed yet. <br /><br />The keys of a GPIP are not in the details, but in the meat of the matter. If a commissioner is ok with the zoning change or not is all that should matter. Not if there are going to be window boxes or stamped concrete.Joseph Morabitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685853728078949253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877753385801022805.post-62014429875235587282015-09-19T11:01:04.851-07:002015-09-19T11:01:04.851-07:00To use your date analogy I think it is rather crue...To use your date analogy I think it is rather cruel to tell someone they can ask you for a date(that you know you are going to refuse), get their hopes up, and then tell them no. I think it is better to tell them please don't ask. Too often I have heard comments from various city officials that we really should let a project go through because of the money the person has spent developing it. Well lets stop it at the GPIP point when it comes to changing residential zoning or density. Many will talk about property rights but will support residents who complain about code violations on their neighbors property. And rightly so- because it boils down to a quality of life issue. I think of the general plan and residential zoning along those lines. Every time the city allows a project to proceed that changes zoning to increase the number of homes per acre it impacts the quality of life for the neighbors around them. Many of us voted for city hood because we were tired of the county approving projects without taking into consideration the impact on others and we had a vision of a city that was less cookie cutter tracts with postage size lots and more neighborhoods with large lots. Rezoning and approving changes that allow smaller lot sizes and more houses impacts the quality of life in a area much more than just a neighbor having a junky yard. Regardless of whether the houses are nice or not. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898734883654972625noreply@blogger.com
