I have no inside information on this. I am hopeful that the president ial library will be in chicago. I think it is very important. I kno...

Western soma on hold until the central corridor is ready to go forward because that doesnt make sense. But i think we really have to know where the possible areas of conflict may be, what could be done to make the two compatible, and what are the options that would be before us. I know we cant jump ahead two or three years to know exactly what may be planned for central corridor, but perhaps someone could give us some insight into what is being thought of there and how to make the two dovetail t...

Less clear to the public as it relies on many things. We have to look at board of the clerk procedures. There is a City Attorney opinion letter. And every individual determination for an appeal if appropriate, is it timely, has to be reviewed by the City Attorney for review by determination. Important to the hpc in particular, the proposed procedures would change nothing about how Historic Resources are evaluated under see qualitiv so, there is some confusion as you heard about that. There would...

Now, i am originally from mississippi, the son of two Public School teachers come in and being from mississippi, the one thing my parents made sure that i knew was my history. It was almost a state requirement in mississippi to know where you came from. So, when i left mississippi to go to South Carolina, i had this desi...

Weve heard from are people who have legal nonconforming uses that currently are in areas that dont permit office because right now under the current zoning you cant really have office anywhere. Or you have people who want to do new office, which obviously that is a very sensitive issue in western soma because very high demand for office space. But its not the kind of space not the kind of use they want to have to be prevalent throughout the plan area. We have the wmuo district on townsend street...

Thats already kind of covered in the code. The legitimate am i sayization process we did for eastern neighborhoods was specifically for projects that had not got earn their permit so ...

Included in your tiersv is a case study of an appeal of an Affordable Housing project that this commission reviewed at 31 55 scott street. Under the ...
