Impact analysis
The property currently pays no taxes; council members estimated the new homes will bring hundreds of thousands of dollars to the city and schools, while the city absorbs maintenance of the donated park.
Downsizers, young families, and the city's park and trail network all gain — plus a big jump in property tax revenue.
Neighbors lose open space views and could see trailhead-area parking spill onto residential streets.
