NEW DEVELOPMENT: Taxes should add up

The time for the large headline was two years ago when Schneidmiller got Post Falls to alter general plan designation/zone for this property from Low Density, R-1, to RM, residential-mixed, and annexed it. Had it remained at R-1, the maximum homes that could fit after streets, sidewalks, parks would be 4 per acre: 238 x 4 = 952. The zone change allowed much smaller lot sizes and allowed for commercial and apartments. The concession to “just” 1,400 units, a condition imposed by the city, does not include 15 acres of land designated to commercial uses. The property adjacent on the south, Fieldstone at Prairie Falls, has far less density.

Simply put, intolerance and disrespect have no place here.
