The best thing the City could have done is enact the change, but not tell anyone they did. Let everyone figure it out as they tried to develop a property. People would be overjoyed at the decreased red tape instead of frothing at the mouths with pitchforks in hand imaging vast swathes of land being converted from bucolic single family homes into long rows of favelas (without adequate parking).
