We ought to continue to work with the city and
property owners to:

1. Put design guidelines in place before anydevelopment on the North Side of Market starts, evenif this delays or halts current development plans.

2. Encourage the Planning Department to consider a high priority concern (such as sharing parking) now,but otherwise support the current development plans.

3. Support the current development plans without anyeffort to alter the designs at this stage.

4. Support the current development plans but encouragethe Planning Department to pursue design/zoning guidelines for the South Side of Market St.

Thank you!!
