Reading between the lines, you’re thinking there might be a problem somewhere? If it’s just a general comment without any particular impetus, I’m ok with saying they have to do that on a phase by phase basis, but if you’re thinking it’s likely to not work, I’d like to see them resolve it before master plan approval.

Beta then appealed the permit to environmental court. The City changed its rules, and the Ecourt remanded the decision to the DRB, stating that it could be reviewed under the current rules which now include an exception for parking to be located to the front. The revisions to the rules are, however, much more extensive than just that and now require a more robust submission for master plan, focusing on creating a set of parameters that will result in consistent development within the master plan area. The applicant has now submitted the required materials for review under the updated regulations, and the project will be reviewed by the DRB on Wednesday February 22. The actual site layout is not proposed to change from what was approved in March 2022 (and reviewed by you), but they have submitted a robust application narrative with the required proposals for how they will ensure the master plan is consistent throughout. I don’t expect you to have much for comments, but if you would like to provide any, you are absolutely welcome to do so. I anticipate the applicant will try to bully the Board into a perfunctory review, but the rules are significantly changed and I will do my best to ensure an appropriately thoughtful process. Please provide comments, if any, by Tuesday February 14. I will be publishing my report the next day. Keep in mind this is just the master plan, and details will be provided on a site by site basis as they move forward with each phase.
