Went to look at the approved DP yesterday. It's actually not terrible, and in fact some good changes were made in response to EDC's letter. There's one thing that stuck out for us, though, and I'll talk about that at a later date.
Some things I can talk about that annoyed me, though:
1. EIFS stucco is considered "high quality material" - despite the fact that it seems to need replacing after 10-15 years or less in some cases.
2. Transportation sucks. Regency offered to pay for decorative paving across 93 Avenue to tie the transit plaza together. Transportation said no, too hard to maintain. I pointed out the absurdity of that argument to the DO, as literally out the window of the office was an inlaid brick crosswalk. The transportation people in this city are still ridiculous.
Overall, though, remembering where this project started, I'm reminded that the work we put into improving it has really paid off, and some parts of the project - mainly the retail at the transit plaza - should actually end up looking really good at the street-level.
