hi ben-
thanks for this update! i’m curious about what, if any, influence the public has on design review and permitting decisions. do you have any insight? a few months ago i attended a design review meeting for a downtown condo building. a couple of the public comments seemed to make it into the list of design issues but i wonder if there is any obligation on the part of the city and/or developer to accommodate public comment. do you know?

I don’t really know, though I would hope the Review Board consider legitimate suggestions and concerns from the public. But, I wouldn’t think the developers would be obligated to do so. The community, through other actions have an impact on the old Met Market on Queen Anne and other developments.
