As a former resident of Lafayette, I'm glad that someone is taking action against the NIMBYs but BARF is out of line here.
The picture BARF paints of what happened is not entirely accurate. The city did not deny the developer from developing the land. After years of public planning meetings the owner of the land decided to work with the city after overwhelming public opposition against the development.
- SonjaKT 11y agoThe argument is that the city "approved the project conditional on lower density." Which is in violation of the HAA. Here's more info about it: http://www.trauss.com/HAA_Lafayette.pdf http://www.trauss.com/HAA_Lafayette.pdf pg 6 is where the Lafayette thing starts. What do you think would have happened if instead of relenting, the developer had gone forward with the 315 unit version? Do you think it would have been approved?
