NIMBY is an acronym for a strong "Not in my backyard" sentiment that exists among some local residents. While the impacts of NIMBY sentiment are difficult to quantify and analyze, they do exhibit themselves in various ways: in overly restrictive growth management systems, unnecessary processing delays, and excessive permitting procedures. Indicators of NIMBY impacts may also be evident in the number of times that staff recommendations for development approval are overturned by planning commission or council, or the rate at which proposals for affordable housing development are approved in comparison to the rate of approval for other types of development proposals.
