Impact analysis
Traffic studies show a net reduction of roughly 27-49 daily trips versus existing entitlements; no direct cost to the city identified.
The seminary gains flexible short-term student housing, and neighbors see a lower density cap than current entitlements allow.
None identified directly, though residents near Long Lake fear flooding and buffer loss if protections aren't explicitly codified.
