Since the Design Review Committee (DRC) considered the proposal in September 2021, the applicant has taken a new approach to the architectural expression and massing of the building in response to the committee's recommendation. The DRC considered the current design concepts and directions of the proposal at its March 9, 2022 meeting and passed the following motion:

A date for Council consideration of the development permit has not been determined at this time.
