Hi David,
I am unable to attend the meeting today, but I do have one piece of input.
The Gateway zoning allows for tall buildings, 4 to 8 stories high. I think that tall buildings should only be built where there is sufficient open space around them. An example of this is the Jacoby Storehouse, which has open space in the plaza. A proposed tall building in the barrel district would have open space south of Samoa Blvd. A negative example
would be the Sorrel Place building, which does not have enough open space around it, and so it seems cramped. Whenever tall buildings are concerned, I think adequate attention should be placed to their context, and how
they fit in to their surroundings.
Good luck at the meeting,
Marilyn Andrews
