Why is this story here?
ContainedA single-site zoning amendment permitting 22 residential units on one lot. The decision is binding and creates use rights, but affects only this property and is reversible in principle by a future council through amendment. Meets the test for Stakes 1: a genuine decision, bounded and without extreme cost to undo.Touches a narrow groupAffects the residents and future occupants of this specific building only. No effect on transit, streets, services, or daily life outside the immediate site. The project itself creates housing but the decision touches no one's week today. Salience 1: one remove from daily life, or a small specific group (future residents of this one building).
Stories are ordered by how much weight a decision carries and how directly it reaches daily life. They rise as a decision date approaches and fall as they age.
