The City Council voted to allow the Garden Valley development to proceed in North Lincoln. This despite the development's "small" lot sizes of 3.6 units per acre. "Small" is, of course, relative. In this case, the term was thrown about by neighboring acreage owners who, in a fit of nimbyism, insisted that the po' folk who might actually be able to afford a house on the smaller lot not be allowed to build in their area.
The "small" charge was ridiculous on its face for many reasons, but one of the most important is found in the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan says that Lincoln's new developments should be built at densities of 4 to 5 lots per acre.
