Message: I'm concerned about small, relatively unnoticed changes in the code that may have
significant ramifications down the road. For example, on pg. 89 in the Plan review criteria the
words "and height" were removed from the sentence listing other criteria to be considered
(building mass, neighborhood identity, etc). Why wouldn't height be a consideration, when that
is so clearly a concern for neighbors to a tall building? Why were those words dropped? Again
on pg 222 - 38.340.010 (F) (part I) the words "historically significant" were added. Why? Does
this have the effect of only applying standards to official historic properties, while ignoring the
character and value of other neighborhoods that might have strong merit but aren't included
under that umbrella? Again, there are many more examples of these sorts of minor wording
changes that could come back to have real impacts on decisions down the road, and that for
many of the public, requires too onerous a task to stay on top of.
