QUESTION? WHY ARE ALL THE NEW HOMES SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER??

IT'S NET DENSITY STUPID!

Our Planning Commission can try

and enforce 1-unit (house) per acre,

but guess what?? Try this true story

on for size. Owner has a 1,500 acre

tract he wants to develop. Too bad

750 acres are on hillsides that don't

meet the slope requirements. And

another 500 acres are unable to be

built on for a variety of reasons.

But at 1-unit per acre GROSS as it

is now, he can still get 1,500 homes,

but he has to cram them on 250

acres less green space requirement

(20% minimum). He is now left with

200 acres to build 1,500 homes or

7.5 units per acre NET DENSITY.

This is the real "bait-n-switch, and

it goes on every day in every city in

our county and the country, too.

YEAH!, the developer cramed you

all together, called it a PUD and

you got 1,300 acres you and the

other 1,499 homeowners can pay

to maintain. Man, how sweet is
that income/profit and -0- main-

tenance for the developers???

WELCOME TO PARADISE ACRES!

This story explains why there seems

to be a constant stream of requests

for rezoning. Estate Residential to

Suburban Residental to PUDS.

E.R.=one & 1/2 acres to S.R.=1 acre,

to PUD or "pretty undersized develop-

ment."

QUESTION??? Does the city approve

zoning to benefit the city's long range

plans or the developer's immediate

needs who will be gone tomorrow??
