"I go back to what problems the proposal is trying to solve. Clearly, the will of the Commission with respect to discouraging car-centered uses was already spoken to.

From the transcript
I do not intend to support the motion. While I can appreciate the comments from previous commissioners and the reasoning behind putting forward the motion, I go back to what problems the proposal is trying to solve.

If the development makes sense, there's a pathway for it to move forward.
