One fact that I think is very important for all to know is that this ordinance was not initially written by this city nor it's legal department. It was written by Paul Harden, who was of course hired by the people who will benefit by the gutting of the Mobility Fee.

That alone should bring the entire idea into question. That alone should make us wonder who Mr Bishop is really working for.
Even past all that, the basic idea that we need to be giving the developers the farm is ludicrous. How do they make their money? Do you really believe that they will not develop that land if they do not get this law passed? Or does it make more sense that they have already figured out they can make a profit even paying the highest level of fees and infrastructure cost and are now simply trying to maximize those profits?
