A residents group, Coalition for Livable City (CLC), has scrutinized the details, and are warning residents to pay attention because taxpayers are being asked to bond for it (TIF), the Planning Commission is being asked to increase the zoning height (ZA 16-14) from 65 ft to 160ft for this development, the City is being asked to subsidize it with TIF indebtedness, and more. This is the first of NPA presentations that will take place in the city in the next month.
