It now has to go through the planning commission, architectural review committee, and community meetings, etc. <br /><br />You guys complain abou the city accepting projects, but dont get involved in the process.

I agree about some of other negative comments of dull nouveau Craftsman, stucco, and cave-like balconies. Why does all the interesting new architecture happen in our libraries or up in SF and the East Bay???
