Impact analysis
The project would pay roughly $800,000 in ACHD impact fees (about $7,000 per unit) that the chair argues could instead fund missing sidewalks.
The neighborhood gains housing and protection from future heavy industrial traffic, plus eventual sidewalk improvements.
The drilling company leasing the lay-down yard will lose its lease, and one neighbor disputes the traffic rationale.
