Pretty sure it's a legal thing where Staff have to follow their own policy and district schedules. Not that I love zoning, but if Staff passed this as is, it kinda just writes off all DD area policy and zoning. In essence, I think, Staff would be declaring all policy and zoning moot.

Staff reviews the policy and there is no wiggle room as is, unless, as Staff requested, a change in policy, which has to come from Council. We've seen successful non-conforming rezoning applications in the past and they are very much aligned with policy it's just that there was no avenue to pursue a formal rezoning in that area at that time.
