If you're local, you're more likely to drive to work than if you're driving off from Gilray, you're more likely to take the shuttle bus.
So my recollection over time was that they're actually kind of fighting each other.
They're not going in the opposite direction.
That if we wanna bring more residential into the city,
we risk in fact increasing the single occupancy trips am i not remembering prior discussions correctly i i was very it was i i came away thinking okay the closer they are if i live less than a mile away i'm more likely to drive the car because it's quick than if i'm driving 20 miles from gilray so i what i'm struggling what i'm trying to understand is
We're talking about making the penalty higher when we have a bigger development.
It's reducing the EMT, but we are making it harder for them to actually
they're more likely to come back in these VMT, these density bonus waivers because we're setting these thresholds so high.
I'm struggling with, they appear to be competing objectives to me.
We want more density locally, therefore the local people are going to drive, but they're not going to drive as far, but we're making it very expensive for them to
to build those high density units because we're putting all these additional requirements that are outlined in these costs.
Am I wrong in the recollection that single occupancy trips in fact increase when people live closer to their jobs?
I've been around for eight years, so it may not be recent.
second for the microphone to turn on it uh i think what you're saying i guess i'm i'd have to go back back through all my history to find this discussion around that single single occupancy vehicle trips are actually more likely when people are close but i'll defer that for the experts
I guess the thing that I'm, and I asked the question earlier about have you done cost analysis, and part of the reason I asked that is I didn't believe what I saw in there and the relative cost when it applied to the scale of the project.
your scale of medium cost for something being $5,000 to $50,000 on something that was potentially adding 1,000 trips a day seems unrealistic to me.
The reason I raise this on the zoning side and the density bonus, and it is concessions, not waivers, you see a project with that number, that size, it's gonna be a density bonus project.
And if we're talking about reducing park fees and all these other fees in order to try to address things to make them competitive, I am very concerned that by using the scale where the implementation has to be even more stringent, more severe, the bigger the project, it creates a situation where we're even more and more likely to have the concession request being, I'm not doing this at all.
And that would be a problem.
in my mind.
