I read through them and didn't see the vote that actually put a stop to the development moving forward. I'm still of the belief that the CUP provides "the best, worst case scenario", unless you want to gamble.
Aldermen Row said that the site could be built out with a lot of apartments if the CUP was not approved. Aldermen Unnerstall said he was willing to take that gamble, and he also mentioned that if the developers were required to follow the R-7 code without any variances, it could be cost prohibitive for them to proceed. - Page 3, Minutes of the Meeting of the Ordinance Committee held July 26, 2004.
I think that is a possible course of action that makes sense if the city can find a way to deny the CUP in a legal way. If developing that land under R-7 was profitable, it may have already been done.
