Lakewood Neighborhood - What do you think about the proposed zone change for Osprey Townhomes?

I am very much in favor of building new row homes, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments along the South 500 West and Lakeview Parkway corridors especially east of 1600 West. As you're aware, Provo is in desperate need of more housing, and low-priced housing is extraordinarily rare. If we do not build more high-density housing in Provo, we will drive most young families and professionals into neighboring communities. This is causing Provo's own residents to lose having their children and grandchildren live nearby.

I like the proposed development. If I could change one thing it would be to add another entrance/exit. The lot in front of 570 W is vacant and coming up for sale. So it could be an option. Even if it wasn't an option I would still approve of the development.

Please approve these changes. Density in sensible places is needed in order to add housing supply to our area.

Being right by the freeway and a major arterial road (Lakeview Parkway), I believe this is an extremely sensible location to add density.

This will help with affordability and help preserve the neighborhoods where people enjoy and want to maintain their single-family housing.

The issue of density is not what is important to me. It seems like a good spot for some higher density, being close to the highway and stores in South Provo. What does concern me is that it appears to completely turn its back to Lakeview Pkwy - contributing nothing to its street design or feel. Nor does the development create more connectivity for 730 west and anyone who might be trying to access Lakeview Pkwy from it on foot or bike.
