CEQA: Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) to the Downtown Strategy 2040 Final EIR for the SuZaCo Mixed-Use Project (ER21-085). Historic Landmarks Commission recommended denial 11/2/2022 - Item 3.c (3-2-2, Commissioner Camuso and Janke opposed, Commissioners Ayala and Royer absent) of a Historic Preservation Permit on the grounds that: (a) The findings required under Section 13.48.240 to grant a Historic Preservation Permit cannot be made for the proposed design of the SuZaCo development; and (b) The denial of the Historic Preservation permit would not cause immediate and substantial hardship on the applicant because the new construction in accordance with Chapter 13.48 would be economically infeasible and unreasonable in light of the feasible uses of such property. Planning Commission recommended approval 10/26/2022 - Item 5.b. (7-2-1, Aluwalia and Garcia opposed, Young absent). Council District 3. (Planning, Building and Code Enforcement)
