June 14, 2012The application is now online in PDF. Included is Planning Staff analysis and drawings. Not included this time is letters for or against. However, under "Public Comment" the analysis says this: "The Department received a number of e-mails, letters and telephone calls that expressed opposition to the Project. The Department received a number of letters that expressed support of the Project." So there's that.

None of the conditions appear to amount to anything other than the ordinary ones imposed on all approved projects. So, it's basically a "Go" for the project.
The Planning Department analysis is probably correct when it concludes that the new business would not result in, or would result in only a negligible, over-concentration of banks in the neighborhood (even with this new one, banks amount to well under 10% of the businesses in the district).
Still, banks are dull, unless of course you are a customer of that bank, in which case it would be great to have a branch in the 'hood....
