Can anybody explain what a yes or no would mean and what would happen?

Yes would allow these expensive 4 story apartments across from Sequitota park to exist. Causing worse flooding and more traffic. Along with damaging the waterways and other precious resources with the cave and sinkholes in the area. since they do not have to have their own retention pond and can allow their stormwater to run into the creek. These are not cost-effective apartments either. These are 200-300 single bedroom luxury apartments. So not for the average family in Springfield. Hell the average job in Springfield, a single person could not afford to rent alone.
There are no increased taxes that the city would gain by this increased "density" for the first 10 years.
A no would protect the neighborhood an waterways.
They did a traffic study I think in March 2020 during the height of Stay home for 2 weeks to lower the curve.
A no would protect the neighborhood and waterways. neither would these apartment dwellers. However, I have since found a tree that pays taxes and it's a beautiful thing.
Edit: IDK why Reddit duplicated what I typed.
