3) 5 storey as of right
4) 0.5 parking requirement
5) No development charges if under 10 storeys
6) Deferred property taxes for 5 years
7) Mandatory commercial on first floor
8) Current vacant, or surface lots are taxed based 35% estimated total lost property tax revenue at maximum as of right height to incentivize development
9) Allow for development but fine if something is not built, which is already done, but raise the fine
I would definitely support these requirements as well! Seems like good initiatives to spur development.
