Impact analysis
Denser development could boost the city's tax base and local business activity, but it may also bring new infrastructure and service costs that taxpayers should watch.
Redevelopment could benefit the surrounding commercial corridor and future users of the site.
Existing homeowners and drivers could feel squeezed by more traffic, parking pressure, and neighborhood changes if the plan moves forward.
