River Design Overlay - A big step in the right direction

They also recommended passing the "REI Property" zoning issue to the Council. Which I understand to be a step in the direction of forcing compliance with the new zoning standard and killing the REI project.

How so?  The approved PUD would supersede the overlay, unless a major amendment was requested.  At that point, any new development would need to come into compliance with the overlay.  (Assuming the park is included in the overlay, either RDO 1,2, or 3.)

I think the TMAPC is old and tired and didn't want to think too hard or take too much responsibility for anything.  Thus... punt!

My understanding was that the TMAPC originally proposed that the overlay wouldn't apply to the REI property. Hence, punting the issue to the council is a step in the right direction. Happy to be corrected.
