A developer wants to build a shopping mall in a mostly rural area of a mid-sized city. In the letter to the city council requesting a building permit, the developer argues that the permit should be granted because the shopping mall, if successful, will ultimately benefit the city by creating jobs in a place where the unemployment rate is slightly higher than the national average.
Which of the following, if true, will be most helpful in strengthening the developer’s petition before the city council?
A. A citizens’ group has circulated a petition collecting signatures in support of the developer’s plan.
B. The city code requires that proposals for all new structures be voted upon and approved by the city council.
C. The developer has already obtained verbal agreements from several retailers who plan to open stores in the future shopping mall.
D. The city’s largest percentage of unemployed people lives in the rural area where the proposed shopping mall would be built.
E. The city will benefit financially from the new shopping mall, because all sales tax revenues will go to the city.
