What does all this cost in terms of staff time, uncertainty, and undue delay? Surely there is a better way.

The better way is to get Centre Plan passed. Then these things can be done as-of-right or with streamlined design review like they are downtown.
When you go through a planning application--any development agreement or rezoning--that bureaucratic bafflegab is absolutely necessary. These are legal processes and open to appeal to the UARB. That detailed analysis is necessary to defend against appeals.
