members prepare to discuss it
possible drop in allowable densities
inthe city.

But council will delay action on
density discussions until after
meeting with the city’s staff devel-
opment committee.

The city decided to delay action

ministator Gerry Brewer said they
may be acting counter te other
current staff reports.

Brewer said city staff has al-
ready begun setting ap a marketing
plan for city-owned land at
Esplanade and Rogers Avenue, the
first of a series of city parcels can-
sidered in the marketing plan.

But Ald. Stella Jo bean said she
was concerned that “‘council is
sending mixed signals to staff"?

{f council goes ahead with the
density study, ‘tare we going to be
throwing money away (on the
earlier marketing reporty?’* she
asked.

Ald. Frank Morris said limiting

heights without also reducing den-
sity could create city‘ boy-like
structures”’ that liurt views as
much as do tall apartinents.

Ald. Barbara Sharp agreed that
density was as daporiant as height.

“As far as people being able to

walk by and sco the water, Usan-
sider this import tant, iS a part of
iivability,’’ she sid

And Ald. Bill Bell said density
affected the serives the city could
provide.

“OF Lower Poasdale is going to
be built in the nest JO to 1S sears
to its Maximum density, we'll be
facing some sucial problems,”* he
said.

But other council members were
concerned with possible negative
effects of decreased density allow.
ances on (he community,

“Ht we reduce densits tn seme at
these buildings. only people wath a
lot more income will be inhahiteng
those buildings,” said Masor fack
Loucks. “What we've had in the
past will serve well in the future

But Bell said that while there
may be fewer units, costs would
Nol increase that much.

“Wf you lower the density, the
cost of land is lower (and therefore
building costs are fower),"’ said
Bel.

Dean said it would be unfair to

Current property owners to change
the density eoning.

“Many people who have pur-
chased property Knowing what the
Obtticial Community. Pian as (will
he atlectedy.”

But Bell said the city had the
night te chanse the zoning density.

“EP don't think the community
plan ts there tor speculators to buy
and inahe oa farge amount of
moneys," said Bell.

Bur Dean argued that not only
speculators would be affected.
“People have rights to
Property its well,’” she said.
