Here is hoping that the members of the zoning board are folks of integrity and not developer puppets. I can not claim to have read the zoning bylaws for the HH area, but I have been involved in several zoning matters over the course of my lifetime. Typically to get an area re-zoned, or to get a special permit that circumvents zoning bylaws, the proposed use has to be in harmony with the existing neighborhood. I find it highly unlikely that a reasonable argument can be made that a 286 unit rental apartment complex would be in harmony with the existing neighborhood? But what do I know?
