Cities die when suburbs don’t prioritize high and medium density projects. Parking lots and high-speed city streets are death – literally, and financially.
👍
Once upon a time the developer wanted to put a Whole Foods in this spot. One grocery store. Maybe my neighbors should have agreed to it.
Yep.
NIMBY’s generally always lose in the end. So much more productive to work with a developer on a compromise. Keystone has owned the land for a long time. They have every right to develop it, just like the homeowners across the street have every right to tear down their home and build a new one. If their new home requires approvals or variances from the city then they have to get them. And if their neighbors oppose it, they can work on a compromise. Just trying to shut down everything all the time will backfire in your face.
The developer owns the land and technically should be able to build whatever they please on it. Secondly, if this sort of development bothers you, why would you even consider moving to the area in the first place? 86th has always been a mix of neighborhoods, offices, shopping centers and traffic for years. Shouldn’t surprise anyone that more development would come. I suggest sale your home and move further out to the suburbs.
To be fair, this is in the suburbs.
Zoning has been around for, I believe it’s been 100 years now since the U.S. Supreme Court first upheld it as a legitimate local government power. So, saying a landowner should be able to build whatever they please goes against an entire century of legal precedent. The MDC approved it, and that might well be the right decision (I haven’t seen any details of the proposal nor did I watch the hearing), but that doesn’t mean that neighbors shouldn’t have the opportunity to provide their input and/or objections. Had they offered legitimate objections (I don’t know if they did), the MDC should’ve acted accordingly in exercising their authority to change the zoning. The outcome presumes the objections weren’t legitimate. Reasonable people can agree or still disagree.
Plenty More projects on the way!
The objections have it correct. Traffic in that area is already terrible and this promises to make it much worse. Anyone who regularly travels across 86th street knows that in late afternoon, every day, traffic is backed up from near NC high school to well past Dean Road. This will not help and staff should know better.
Time for you to,,,, go!!!!!
Traffic congestion is to be found in every vibrant area. Trying to prevent development just because traffic isn’t free-flowing for a couple hours per day will prevent creation of a thriving and economically sustainable community that can provide the tax revenue needed to maintain public infrastructure and services. If development is prevented here, it will be pushed farther out of the city and will just require drivers to travel even greater distances to get to destinations and cause even more congestion in the metro area as a whole.
I feel this fits the developments that’s currently there.
