Transit Oriented Development Alternative Plan Options
Summary
State law forces apartment zoning near transit; the city is crafting a plan to shift density out of single-family neighborhoods onto corridors and station areas. Three options were presented; members favored the combined Option C, but a 1990 voter-approved height limit constrains the corridors the community most wants built.

Impact analysis
No direct cost cited, but the plan shapes where thousands of potential housing units — and future tax base — land.
Renters and future residents gain housing near transit; single-family neighborhoods see reduced by-right density.
Some residents, like commenter Chris Skeens, say their property's newly granted development rights are being transferred to private developers without compensation.
