Absolutely! The site is also

Absolutely! The site is also desperately in need of environmental remediation - that whole area 646-363 is chock-a-block with nasty stuff which is being contained and monitored. Whoever develops it is going to need some height and density to offset that cost since brownfill funding is still642-982 inadequate. I don't think we and the developer are far apart. We're soliciting feedback, but right now my guess is that only a very few would push back at 6 storeys642-456. 8 is going to be tougher, but might be appropriate if there's something in it for the community, and they respect the new CDP guidelines respecting setbacks. CISAThat would probably mean space the community could use, likely geared towards the arts, or some kind of affordable housing to help mitigate some of the effects of continued gentrification in the 'Burg. There'll have to be very significant engagement with the park/Market, as well, which doesn't seem to be contemplated in their drawings.
