Is there any reason to grant the variance? To be “smaller” than required in a time with a dearth of housing supply.
What does that mean that they don’t even want to attempt a few floors of residential? Is this developer just crazy, or is the current environment so stacked against residential development now? If so, it seems like there must be some way to use the housing bond money to incentivize adding residential units here.
