WHERE: Rackham Auditorium Theatre & Dance Taylor looks to change zoning for development 4 I Mayoral candidate outlines plans for building regulations SByEMMA KERR Daily StaffReporter - If elected this November, Democratic mayoral candidate Christopher Taylor has said he plans to initiate changes in zoning and to further regulate the kinds of buildings constructed in Ann Arbor's downtown area if he is elected mayor in the general elec- tion this November.. Developmenthasbeen aheavily discussed topic inthe mayoral race thus far and a key issue among the four candidates in the Democratic mayoral nomination during the August primary. Following the crowded primary in which Taylor garnered a near majority of the vote as the Demo- cratic candidate, his name will appear next to Bryan Kelly's on the general election ballot. Kelly, an independent candidate, entered the race with an emphasis on downtown development as well, suggesting Ann Arbor maintain its green, small-town feel. The recent increase in the rate of downtown development in Ann Arbor has increased tensions between developers and residents, and has raised the question of what type of city its leaders hope it will become. Specifically, the development issue regards high- rise apartments that predomi- nantly house University students. One development decision made in January - the approval of the construction of a building located at 413 E. Huron St. - was heavily debated preceding its approval, and continues to be a pivotal issue in this mayoral race. On his campaign website, Tay- lor, who gave the deciding vote in p--p approving the site plan, calls the 413 E. Huron St. decision "a stark reminder we need to do better." The case was characterized as a lose-lose situation. Councilmem- bers were caught between facing a possible lawsuit if they were to reject the construction of the 413 E. Huron St. building, which was zoned for such a building and therefore legal, yet some council- members and residents felt the construction would be unattract- ive and obtrusive. "I think that the 413 E. Huron building showed we did not get the zoning right in that location," Tay- lor said in an interview with The Michigan Daily. "We've seen alotof blocky buildings lately, and I think people want density downtown and people want commercial activity downtown, but they don't like the way a lot of our new buildings look." Taylor said, as mayor, he would take several actions in response to residents' disapproval of recent downtown development. These actions include seeking to reevaluate zoning throughout the downtown area, determining the potential for certain kinds of buildings and improvements - as well as the possible consequences of every building design and con- struction opportunity - and mak- ing zoning changes preemptively when necessary. He said the general zoning has served the city well, but only needs minor adjustments to avoid incidents like the 413 E. Huron St. decision and to better meet the needs of citizens. "We need to make sure the zon- ing downtown is proper," Taylor said. "I don't, however, think our zoning needs wholesale overhaul." The process of development approval includes the approval and consideration of the Design Review Board and the Planning Commis- sion, the members of which are both chosen by the mayor before being presented to City Council. Taylorsaid anothersmall alteration he would make as mayor would be to ask that the Design Review See TAYLOR, Page 3A Delta Tau Lambda brings speakers to discuss social justice By TANYA MADHANI Daily StaffReporter Drawing attendees from pcross the state, Delta Tau Lambda, a Latina sorority at the University, hosted its 21st annu- al "Salute to Latinas" event in the Michigan League Ballroom. The event aimed to unite women regardless of their social and cultural identities by providing an atmosphere of empowerment. The night fea- tured keynote speeches from prominent social justice activ- ists in the state. "We hope that our audience takes away that while they might experience something thdy may not be knowledgeable about, (they will hear) experi- ences of another woman and to be a little more open minded," said LSA senior Wendy Cortes, an event coordinator. Cortes said she often sees cul- tural events on campus being pro- moted by a single diversity group as opposed to several collaborating on a larger multicultural event. "Instead of minority groups unifying to reach the shared goal, they kind of separate each other, and there is a lot of bias. In my personal opinion I think there could be a lot more prog- ress made if groups unified," Cortes said. Though the event was put on by a Latina sorority, the audi- ence included attendees of all genders and ethnicities. Fel- low Multicultural Greek Coun- cil members, such as Kappa Phi Lambda, an Asian-interest sorority, also attended. "We like to show up and sup- port other Greek orgs within our MGC ... We like to support each other by showing up to each of our events," said LSA senior Rosy Liao, a Kappa Phi Lambda member. Ida Lu, another member of Kappa Phi Lambda, had attend- ed the event in the past. "We just want to support the other Greek organizations and also learn about the culture and spread awareness about differ- ent cultures," Lu said. "Last year it was in a different environ- ment, so I'm excited to see what they have this year." The keynote speaker for the event was artist and hip-hop dancer Piper Carter, who talked about the importance of people sharing their own stories and being able to share them. "People of color are taught that our existence is not valu- able," Carter said. Carter narrated her child- hood in New York City, where, despite being African American, she lived in a predominantly Puerto Rican neighborhood and attended a Jewish school. As she recounted anecdotes from her upbringing, several Puerto Rican audience members clapped and agreed out loud with similarities in their own upbringing. One particular story Carter told was of how her Puerto Rican babysitter would give her a warm milk and sugar bever- age- a childhood memory still stays with her today. "And what's important about that is ritual and family," Carter said. "How many of you went back and felt really good? Wasn't that like the best thing?
