Found this little surprise in the details of city housing proposals: H2.1.1 PROGRAM To allow for higher density residential development, consider amending the Zoning Code to permit high-density residential in mixed use or single use projects in commercial areas within one-half a mile of fixed rail stations.... **** AND TO ALLOW LIMITED EXCEPTIONS TO THE 50-FOOT HEIGHT LIMIT FOR HOUSING ELEMENT SITES WITHIN ONE-QUARTER MILE OF FIXED RAIL STATIONS.**** First, my answer is no. Second, love the ambiguity of "limited exceptions". What exactly does "limited" mean? Once? Twice? One exception to one developer who wants to build 4 towers (think Arrillaga). Not on my watch.
