RM is residential multi family. It doesn't matter because you said there'll be an office/commercial building (I was still asleep when I wrote that).
It is seriously f'd that they're even considering this. An apartment bldg, then a house, then a commercial bldg, then more houses. It is the wild west on that block.
I think the only argument you can table to the city is that they're permanantly destroying the value of her property. The only reasonable use for that land after a building is built is for a parking lot.
And sadly, it is doubtful that you'll recoup much in the way of improvements to the building (house). If the highest and best use of a piece of land is something other than what sits on it, fixing upping is only for the owner's comfort and does nothing to increase market value.
