I attended the City Planning Commission meeting on July 19, and I witnessed firsthand how the commission vests itself with details and how it values view resources. To wit, I heard a commissioner ask: “What type of dirt is under the deck?” With that in mind, I can’t believe the project by DesignARC made it before the commission as the next agenda item.
The application by DesignARC entailed 52 units plus more than 6,000 square-feet of commercial space in the area bordered by Garden, Anapamu, and Figueroa streets.
Obviously, there is no parking for 52 additional cars in this area. The developers presented a few artistic renderings of the deus ex machina by which they’d supply parking: car elevators, aligned in series.
