Re: Dream Hotels (Uhaul lot)
I agree, which is why Im in support of TIF. But again, we can redefine it beyond the funding mechanism it currently is to more of an incentive to encourage high density and urban development. Right now (as Pete alluded) TIF is given to almost anything requested within the downtown developing nation zone(s). Therefore, OKC gets very few development proposals above 5 floors which I thought was more or less prohibited in the CBD and shoulder area.
I understand we needed to get "something" first, but I think we may now be at the point of urban density in the CBD and shoulder zones to focus TIF on dense developments and less so to get a proposal completed.
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
