Right - and that is a problem, I think.
As Z Smith said, we want the Conservation District portion to be passed - 
and there are definitely the 3 requisite votes for that at this time - but 
we don't know what the next Council will look like. We need to get it 
passed now.

The area is *now* zoned R2. Passing the ordinance in question will not 
change that.

Defeating the ordinance, however, puts the whole ball of wax in uncertainty 
-- but cannot result in downzoning, because downzoning would take all 3 
votes - which we know are not there now.

So opposition to the ordinance appears to me to risk the Conservation 
District, with no chance for benefit.
