Townhomes are a good compromise for keeping single family housing units but making things a little more high density. The demand to live in Provo is only increasing, as many people have connections to this town and want to live here with their families. When I have saved up enough for a down payment I personally would like a townhome. I support this zone change.
If they could add a walk/bike path along the sidewalk while doing this, that would be even better.

This is a wonderful opportunity to add more affordable housing to an area that has been under-developed, especially considering its proximity to the University. BYU needs better options for graduate students and younger professors so that we don't lose them to neighboring communities.

I think it's a great idea. There isn't enough of this kind of housing in Provo that is in between a detached single family home and an apartment. We need more options for people at different life stages and economic statuses. I don't think it's healthy or fair to restrict developers from building the kind of development that people want because there are a few people that are worried about having more neighbors.
There are some statements about traffic concerns. Though this information is anecdotal is worth noting that on google maps images taken this year, there is still ample on-street parking available on 2000 N and adding 4 residencies would not significantly affect that.
I support the zone change.

I live in the north part of the Carterville neighborhood, just blocks from this project. We recently had a neighborhood meeting to discuss this project and another several months ago for another similar proposal. Both times the overwhelming majority of those in attendance who live in the area have voiced their desire to have less dense development in the area, invite single family home projects, and avoid additional stress on an already stressed infrastructure. Traffic, parking, water, sewer, you name it and adding housing of increased density to this area will not only cause problems, but directly opposes what those who live in the neighborhood want to see it become.

I reside and own a home five blocks from the proposed zone change. I think that the property should not be used for anything larger than a duplex. This street does not currently have the correct water line size as it is. Putting more demand on the system is not a good idea. Many duplex owners in the neighborhood do not take care of their property very well. If it were up to me, the entire area would be zoned for single family homes with older properties being grandfathered until a new owner bought the property.

I notice that none of the statements in support of this development seem to be from folks who live in the neighborhood. I do, just a half block from the proposed rezone. It is on a narrow street that can barely support the existing traffic. Utilities are already strained to their limits. The neighborhood is currently single family homes and duplexes. The proposed development is far too dense for this neighborhood.

I support this project. We need more housing and density in Provo.

No. Leave them "open spaces"

This lot borders multi-family housing already, but currently lays empty (the 845 lot). This is a great and easy way for Provo to infill and increase housing opportunities for residents.

This is a smart way to add more housing to the core of Provo. This type of backyard infill development should be replicated throughout the city. I support it.
