Yes, you're right that it's just conceptual. That proposal is not actually a proposal. It's just to demonstrate one possible development that would be permitted under the new zoning.
The application being made, and the meeting in May, is just to amend the zoning. We really have no idea what a proposal under the new zoning by a potential new owner might look like. I thought it was interesting that the concept did not include commercial, when that is in the zoning amendment application.
Really, the zoning being requested seems pretty modest, and the huge setback from Roger will guarantee that those residents on Roger who might be concerned about it, will not have to experience any height. If they don't want a high rise across the street from them, strategically it might make sense to support this.
