We’ve all been there – our savvy regulating or sharp policy planning skills create work demands that tear us away from our interested parties. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t despair – some of your highly creative, solutions-oriented fellow Northern members are stepping up with suggested language to help you garner our major project’s approval – or avoid a tentative subdivision(!) – this Valentine’s Day!

My Heart is like a new development’s open space – DEDICATED
Less Parking, More Us
You’re the only exception allowed in all my zones
Are you a P.U.D.? ‘cause you’re superior in every way
Let’s take this relationship from concept to construction

You’re my favorite long-term plan
SB-Mine?
Don’t split my heart </3
You’re the Middle Housing I’ve been Missing
Would you be my bicycle lane? ‘cause I’ll always protect you
You’ve been going roundabout my thoughts all day long


When I Sea you my Levels Rise

Just let me ADore U
Let’s take our relationship to the next Level of Service (LOS)
Don’t hate – Mitigate

Three (03) minutes wouldn’t be enough to comment on all the things I love about you
Your only development impact on me is stealing my heart
They should call you “Sideyard Setback” ‘cause you’re a (10’)
My love for you is like a permitted use – unconditional
Are you a Major Subdivision? Because I care about you a Lot (>4)


You have a CEQA’t admirer!
