Yes.

Um so then um

So then uh the I think I'm guessing there's a benefit to us of applying the general mixed use zoning to that site because presumably we have objective standards and other things that would apply if someone were to

Come forward with a there's no pr development proposal today, but if someone came forward with a development proposal under general mixed use, they can't just go through the ministerial process with no objective standards.

They would have to go through our process with a general mixed use zoning and all of our objective standards would apply.

Correct.

Okay.

So it sounds to me like

Uh unlike what I thought before tonight, there's really no if I were if I lived I don't know at 500 feet from this, um, there's really no advantage to me that there's an advantage to me of having this zoned as mixed use because now objective standards apply.

Whereas if we just do nothing tonight and let state law apply.

There's someone can just go through a ministerial process without a public hearing, presumably.

and wipe out everything and build a thirty unit to the acre residential complex with with with no parking.

Um 'cause I think I think right now the way state law stands for residential project you don't have to

apply parking.

Uh I think it might depend on the transportation as aspect of it.

Yeah I'd say generally yes I would need to follow up more specifically on the point of parking under AB twenty eleven and SB6.

Uh and then just clarifying in both cases uh projects would be eligible for state density bonus law which could cause deviation from objective standards that the city has adopted.

I see.

And then the the final question is um um

So let's say we if we wanted to defer this to do additional study of traffic and other things, at the end of the day, that's not going to matter because thirty units of the acre is already allowed without any traffic improvements or anything.
