What is the building on Walnut & 7th going to be?

What is an OOA? Hadn't heard this one, yet. Is it a new version of a COA, or is it different from a COA?

An OOA is really the COA.  Its a play on words.

Nope, the OOA is just what it's name states. It is new and allows owners to come in front of the commission with their ideas and get feedback before filing the COA. The thought is to save time and money by finding out if plans will be acceptable before doing all the planning and due diligence only to get shot down at the hearing.

I guess you learn something new everyday.  I thought most people seeked their opinion before officially filing for a COA.  So is this an actual document or just a word of mouth opinion?

[Springfield Girl]

Just an opinion. The applicant gets put on the agenda and comes in front of the commission to show plans and get feedback. The Library developers came to the commission for an OOA also. Both the Library and 7th and Walnut were recieved positively.
