We’re promoting redseca2’s experience with the planning process from comment to post. Regarding yesterday’s piece on the new designs for Octavia Boulevard:
Wait for the triple whammy of neighborhood groups, planning department and arts commission to try to “improve” the designs.
It can be weirder than your wildest imagination, as in my first planning department meeting for a 6 floor, 150,000 SF Office project, where the first comment from the planner was, “have you considered bay windows?”
Not that there’s anything wrong with bay windows.
