<DIV>Gary, I believe that what you were saying is that the community ought not

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings Bruce, You can't imagine my shock that
you find yourself in disagreement with my point of view. This has never
happened before on this forum. Please allow me a moment to clarify my position
so that you can join all the other happy and harmonious people on the V
that love me and dote upon my every word.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Its one thing to move into an R-1 or R-2 area
surrounded by other single family homes and have an expectation of limited
change. (protected by zoning) However ,if you live on the edge of an area
which the comprehensive plan suggests future development might best serve the
community as industrial/commercial area you should have no such expectation.
It's lovely to have rolling farm land for you back yard but, to assume it will
always be such is short sighted in the extreme. You move in and gamble.
Heads, pastoral beauty, tails, Wal-Mart. You shouldn't have the option of
modifying the bets final outcome at the end. If I can't have my farm view,
I'll take a ball field. No? How about "mixed use" instead? Sorry, pal. If
you want total control of your immediate environment, move someplace that's
already the way you like it, or purchase a large enough buffer to insulate
yourself from unpleasant potentialities.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I have said before, I do not think that it's a
pro-growth position to say 'We're in favor of growth as long as it's small and
cute and fuzzy. As long as it sells the kinds of things us progressive people
like. ("no cheap plastic crap") As long as they compensate their employees the
way we and the union thinks is right and proper. As long as it's aesthetically
pleasing to those of refined sensibilities. As long as you can tuck it
someplace that's at least half a mile from everywhere. And above all, doesn't
change the "unique character of the community" whatever the heck that is.
Where did the notion that everyone should have equal input into everyone
elses business dealings come from?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In closing, I would have to say that I would
agree with you, that my mantra was BUNK if what I, the GMA, the property
owners and developers (three groups for which I do not speak) were, in fact,
proposing rendering plants next to old folks homes. Toxic waste dumps next to
orphanages. Rack next to ruin. I disagree because the sorts of things that I
see causing the most knickers waddage for the fellowship that is V2020 and for
the most part, the MCA, is sub-divisions in the proximity of other
sub-divisions, retail having a close personal relationship with
retail, commercial development cheek by jowl with other
commercial/industrial development. And the ever present droning of 'not enough
goodies (parks, paths, pavilions, pork, pie in the sky, etc.) for me but
paid for by others.' I will find your arguments much more persuasive
when the horrors that you claim to be steadfast in your opposition to are, in
fact, the sorts of things that are being put foward.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Gary, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am not sure why you suggest that it is equally clear
that the MCA is "a long way from being pro-growth." You seem to
imply that all growth is good, and that opposing any particular project
makes the opponent of the project "not pro-growth." If I understand
you correctly, I disagree with you on both counts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You assert that those who object to a re-zone of
property, that is owned and sought to be developed by others, are trying
to dictate to those others how to develop their property. In
some instances, I think you are close to correct, and I find it a little
presumptuous for others to be so "helpful" in coming up with alternative
proposals for the property owner, (though those "helpful 'here's an
alternative development possibility' sorts" are really only suggesting,
not dictating). But in reality, the multitude of complaining citizens
are voicing their opinions on how the re-zone will affect their own property
and community, not telling the developers how to develop their
land. The zoning ordinance, itself, (upon which we all relied when we
bought our land) is what limits the development rights of everyone who owns
land within its bounds. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The nub of this argument is over what is a "straight
forward and not overly restrictive set of guidelines" for
development. That is an easy question to answer for me: the
zoning code. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You seem to suggest that if a developer wants to
change the rules of the game by re-zoning property and allowing a
heretofore dis-allowed use in a neighborhood, that the developer should
be permitted to do so as a matter of right. Your test for whether
the growth was appropriate or not is an after the fact assessment:
whether the development succeeds or fails in the market.
</FONT>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Both the MCA and I understand that re-zoning is
sometimes necessary to allow for growth. Where we seem to disagree
with you is on whether the community, whose collective property may be
affected by a proposed re-zone, has a right to provide input on the
re-zone when the re-zone will effect not only the land subject to the
re-zone request, but the surrounding property and community, too. In
those circumstances, I think the community should have input on whether
and how to allow re-zone proposals without being automatically labeled as
"anti-growth." </FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I think that if a developer can't sell the community
on the value of its proposed "new rules," changed game, and re-zoned
property, the community has no obligation to the developer and ought not
automatically re-zone the property. The developer DOES have the
unfettered right to develop his or her land within the
restrictions imposed by the zoning ordinance. However, the developer
DOES NOT have the automatic right to more intensive uses of property than
are allowed in a particular neighborhood. Such uses ought to go
where they are planned and prescribed under the existing zoning ordinance,
not wherever a particular property owner wishes to site them -- most
especially when those uses are prohibited under the existing
zoning code at the developer's proposed site. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Many citizens, especially nearby neighbors to a
proposed development, think that the current zoning should mean
something -- it is, after all, a law upon which we relied when we
bought our land in the first place. While the scope and intensity of
any particular re-zone proposal may be acceptable to the community, not all
developments that require a change in zoning are an
appropriate fit in the existing neighborhood or the town. You
seem to label as anti-growth any group that raises objections to any
development proposal. But the MCA and most citizens do not
object to all growth. We object to growth that is so
significantly different from that already allowed that it not only
would require zoning amendments but also would detrimentally
change the character of our neighborhood and community. You seem to
gloss over the fact that in purchasing our land in the first place
we relied upon the governing limitations of the zoning
ordinance and its protection of OUR private property rights.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>What we are trying to do is encourage growth that
is consistent with our laws and best accounts for effects beyond the
development -- effects the community at-large needs to absorb and finance as
best we can, whether those effects involve transportation, infrastructure,
water or increased demands on police or fire protection. Generally
speaking, I don't hear people objecting to growth that fits within the
parameters of the existing zoning category, (with the possible
exception of water issues not covered by the zoning ordinance). People
are objecting most strenuously to proposals that require a change
in zoning to a more intensive use that many think will have the effect
of imposing a quantum change in our community and neighborhood, thereby
affecting the property rights of us all. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>What people find most objectionable
is changing the rules of the game after they bought property and relied
upon the zoning code for a semblance of reliability and stability in their
neighborhood. In buying land in a place like Moscow that is governed
by a zoning ordinance, we all gave up our unfettered right to develop land
without any regulation and instead acceded to the restrictions of the zoning
ordinance. The trade-off is obvious: we don't get to do anything we
want to our land, but neither do other landowners. The zoning
ordinance controls what is allowed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The fundamentally wrong part of your premise, as I see
it, Gary, is the notion that we, MCA, or any other citizen for that
matter, are not pro-growth because we object to a particular proposal
that a developer wishes to see imposed here. But the fact is that
in the few development proposals that a mass of citizens find
objectionable, the developer is seeking ACCOMMODATIONS and CONCESSIONS from
the City, in the way of re-zoning, variances, etc. What I
understand you and the Greater Moscow Alliance ("GMA") to be
saying is that those who object to ANY re-zone proposal are
"anti-growth" and improperly limiting the developer's property
rights. That mantra is BUNK, and an occasional objection to a
mis-placed and ill-conceived development does not make the objector
"anti-growth." <FONT color=#0000ff><STRONG>To suggest that everyone
has a right to do with their land as they wish, in a community that has
adopted a zoning ordinance, is to ignore the covenant that a zoning
ordinance provides -- some surety for each of us that the land next door
in a particular use category will not be changed to some other more
intensive use without our consent as a community, as decided by the P&Z
and then Council, after community hearings.</STRONG></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If you bought a house in an R-2 neighborhood, you
would have every right to object to your neighbor seeking to put a rendering
factory, oil refinery or large scale retail
development next-door. Objecting to that inappropriate use does
not make you anti-growth. Likewise, to suggest that a re-zone is an
entitlement in a community that has a zoning ordinance may be "pro-growth at
all costs" but it also ignores the purpose of adopting a zoning ordinance --
the dependability of clearly stated, allowable uses for land in a
particularly zoned neighborhood. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In my opinion, this town has been entirely too loose
with rezoning any property at any developer's request. The prior
councils and city staff have been all too willing to ignore the
zoning ordinance by haphazardly amending it on an ad hoc, project-by-project
basis, crafting whatever exceptions into the zoning ordinance that a
developer requests. Instead, we have endured a hodge-podge of
re-zones, a parcel at a time, all the while diminishing the justified
expectations of the neighbors in the use of their nearby land.
Most of us relied upon the zoning in this town when we bought our
land. We did not intend to develop or change the allowed uses in
our neighborhoods, but instead anticipated that the existing zoning would
limit not just ourselves but our neighbors, too, to the allowed uses
under the code. What about our property rights and reliance
interests? Preserving property values and quality of life in our
community while supporting sustainable growth under the Smart Growth
principles is pro-growth and a long, long way from
"anti-growth."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You also seem to suggest that we should buy any land
that we don't want changed. I agree with you, in part. When the
developer merely seeks to develop his or her land within the limits of the
current zoning category and does not seek special treatment,
allowances, and a change in the governing zoning regulations, the
developer has a right to proceed. We might not like the
transformation of a nearby pastoral setting to a passel of houses,
but we would seem to have little or no basis for objecting to the
developer's right to build those houses if the property were already
zoned residential and for the requested density. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>However, when the developer seeks special
accommodations and re-zoning to a more intensive use, that is another
story. That developer may be affecting my property rights
adversely, because the effects of the new, unforeseen and previously
unallowed uses may leak beyond the developer's property to my own and
diminish my property value or enjoyment. Because I relied upon the
existing zoning of the neighborhood when I bought my land, I have a right to
object to zoning changes that I perceive will adversely effect my property
without being labeled anti-growth. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Growth in highly intensive uses, especially, is
best placed where it is allowed, and not wherever the developer-of-the-month
asks to put it after a re-zone. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bruce, It's clear from your post that you do
not feel that the MCA is a "no growth" organization. But it's equally
clear that it's a long way from being pro growth. What it appears to me to
be is a growth by strangling committee group. A here is our vision of how
property that is not ours should look and be used club. If you stand in
the way of the kinds of development that developer's actually are willing
to put their money on the line for, can you honestly say you're in favor
of growth? To proclaim yourselves as "smart growth" advocates is to say
that you're in favor of a set of confused and contradictory goals design
to leave everyone dissatisfied. It would seem to me that pro growth
is to let the people with a real vested interest in any given project move
ahead under a straight forward and not overly restrictive set of
guidelines and let the community vote with its patronage. In a
society where failure is seldom rewarded, mistakes will likely not be
repeated. To try and make everybody happy on the front end of every
project is to create needless road blocks and stagnation.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Whoa Nellie!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Matt, I think you need to stop buying what certain
"growth at all costs" types are selling in their inaccurate smear of the
MCA as an organization favoring no-growth. We are by no means
a "no-growth"-seeking organization. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We seek to bring open public discussion and
planning -- long range planning especially -- back into the
process. We seek to incorporate into our City better pedestrian
and bicycle corridors, sidewalks, mixed uses and cluster developments
that use forward thinking combinations of higher densities, and more
shared, open space. We seek sustainable community
development, not stagnation. There is a continuum of
positions on the growth spectrum, from no growth on the one hand to
unregulated, absolute power to develop one's land without regard to the
effect on one's neighbors on the other. MCA is not for the
former; I would hazard a guess that GMA is not for the
latter. Time will tell.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Up until recently, this City has operated on a
basis that had relegated the zoning code to an advisory document,
spot-zoning and re-zoning property willy-nilly at the request of
any developer -- regardless of the conflict any particular proposal may
have had with the Comprehensive Plan. Evidence of that sad
pattern can be found with the prior council's frittering away of
the West A street commercial property that has been turned into one
apartment complex after another. The "pro-growth at all costs"
crowd decries the current "lack" of motor business land in the City and
uses that alleged "lack" as a basis for asserting the necessity of
re-zoning the Thompson property. Those same "pro-growth regardless
of the costs" folks include those who spent much of our best motor
business land on short term, short-sighted, frenzies of granting
every request to turn A Street into apartments -- in an
area that has no adequate pedestrian crossing of the largest road in our
City for the numerous pedestrian students who were locating in those
apartments. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Smart Growth we advocate, not "no growth."
</FONT><A href=""><FONT
face=Arial>http://www.idahosmartgrowth.org/</FONT></A></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The best place for heavy commercial growth was
always along the Pullman Highway and behind Third Street on A, as was
set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The recently annexed
university-owned land north of the Palouse Mall is an obvious motor
business area, and it serves far wiser planning and strategic needs by
its location as close to Pullman as we can place it, while retaining a
Latah County location. The good folks of Troy will drive
through Moscow and past our downtown to get to the Moscow motor business
developments near the state line. The Pullmanites and WSU
students, particularly those using the bus, seem much less likely to
drive or hitch a ride to the far side of eastern Moscow, especially as
their choices expand in Whitman County. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Being opposed to a misguided and ill-conceived, 77
acre motor business re-zone on the east side of town does not make
one anti-growth. It makes one opposed to that particular
development.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Likewise, as evidenced by prior discussion on this
list, expressing concern and seeking solutions about water usage on the
Palouse is not anti-growth. In fact, it is
pro-growth. The Seattle model, referenced by Nils Peterson
and Mark Solomon on V2020 discussions, is worthy of pursuit here.
Seattle was able to grow -- substantially -- while actually
cutting its water usage through thoughtful, long-term conservation
policies. We, too, can do the same. Given our scarce and
declining water supply, why not seek to implement water conserving
policies that will enable future growth, rather than blindly play a game
of chicken with an aquifer of unknown size and dimensions?
Preserving our water through thoughtful and proven conservation methods
preserves our ability to grow for the long term. Our County
Commissioners, two of whom are Republicans, have listened and learned
from Diane French, Mark Solomon and others on the water issue, so don't
be so quick to dismiss Diane and Mark as having ideas that take root
only on the left, when the evidence is to the contrary and their hard
work on water management benefits us all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Personally, I also welcome discussion of a
reservoir. I oppose injection of the pristine waters of the Grand
Ronde aquifer with relatively filthy runoff from muddy fields laden with
various herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, and assorted other
pollutants. But opposing injection of the Grand Ronde does not
make me anti-growth, Matt, it makes me opposed to that particular water
management option among a myriad of choices that enhance the
possibility of and favor long-term growth.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am pro-growth. Most in the MCA are as
well. Several years ago the MCA Board took a position favoring
growth. We accepted the Smart Growth model, and rejected a no
growth alternative. That position has not
changed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We in the MCA welcome the GMA to the discussion;
undoubtedly the community at large does, too. Informed and open
discussion is enlightening and useful to all. Overall, my sense is
that the Moscow community is glad that the MCA arrived and changed the
discussion from private conversations of a few policymakers, movers and
shakers to a much larger group of people throughout the community who
are all engaged in the discussion. The GMA will undoubtedly
add its voice to the discussion, which can only be a good thing.
Let the marketplace of ideas percolate and see what happens. But
don't mis-apprehend the MCA as being anti-growth, for we are
not.</FONT></DIV>
