bigger lots, bigger houses
water quality impact-increased runoff, quality of water impaired
land use driving emissions up
smart growth principles
preserve open space through zoning
spot zoning

A question for discussion was brought up: Is is SIA's business to be involved in zoning and planning to make sure zoning and planning know the points of The Plan and how to implement it?
Yes that it is our concern, but we need to utilize the people of the area.
