Proper 'form'

For those who don't know, the City of Peoria is considering dumping its rigid code that sets specific standards for specific zoning catagories that can't be broken without speicif permission with a different system that lets the city take into account the different conditions in each neighborhood.

It's either going to either make it easier to get a building through the city's red tape or it's going to make it hearder for neighborhoods to fight projects they don't want in their backyards. Or both.
