(Developers’ preferred ‘massing’ proposal, which includes to the north the massing of the future Equity Residential development)
Since the proposal for The Junction’s ex-Petco site at 4724 California has drawn so much interest (first report here; followup with development-team leaders here; followup with prospective owner here, first look at concept/massing here), we thought some might want one more reminder that the first Southwest Design Review Board meeting is tomorrow (Thursday) night. It’s scheduled for 6:30 pm at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center (4408 Delridge Way SW); if you’re driving, and have never been there, note that its parking lot (accessible from just north of the historic schoolhouse) is not that huge, but there’s street parking along Delridge in front, and alongside the park across the street, with a crosswalk at SW Genesee and a pedestrian overpass further south. Public comment IS allowed and welcomed in the Design Review process, but you will hear the board remind you that it needs to stick to design aspects – to find out more about that, you can read the city’s “Community Guide to Design Review.” You can review the “early design guidance” version of the project proposal by going here (PDF).
