Thanks! 3 years in this past January 1st. So far so good. Been pretty busy nationwide.

I was concerned about the process and the precedent set. Basically,  if you can get a fairly vague idea through conceptual approval and you don't "have to" come back until you're ready for final approval, that's a really bad practice for a community (in this case, downtown). Ultimately, you're placing your downtown hope on each individual applicant getting it right. History has shown, thats a pretty bad position to be in.



A public work shop would likely help. Easy to do. Often beneficial. No reason one couldn't be organized within a few weeks time, prior to final approval.

^Offered that option. They may or may not. They aren't required to.
