🏙️Our next Development Activities Meeting will be held on Monday, July 15th at 6PM via Zoom! While we are excited to hear about this project, as an RCO, we support projects that have completed the Development Review Panel process. This decade-old process is how we fulfill the RCO ordinance’s requirement for an orderly and democratic process to determine community support for a project. We requested that the architect working on behalf of the City, submit to the DRP so residents throughout the Hill District can give input and be properly informed. We have not yet received a submission, please plan to attend this public meeting via Zoom using the link below. Join here:https://ow.ly/LvyM50Su847
