^^^That redevelopment plan is now known as the Enos Jones RDP and was presented at the Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association meeting on the 20th. It basically jsut formalizes variances that the ZBA has been granting to properties in that area anyway. If this RDP passes, they can go up to the heights they've been requesting as-of-right, but they'll have to pay into a fund for improvements to Enos Jones Park.

Here's my guess: the Planning Board is appointed by the mayor. The mayor pressured them to vote against it because he was courting Boggiano to be on his ticket at the time.
Bob Antonicello is also quoted in the article, correctly predicting how this case would end.
