We'll need to wait for the detailed renderings later in the fall to really assess how it will look. For now, we can just get a sense of the layout and size of public space.
The SF Business Journal has a few additional comments on that:
Quote:
Dykers said he hoped the site would be somewhat reminiscent of the Piazza del Campo in Siena, Italy.
“The basic idea is to avoid building out to the property line,” Dykers said. “We really want that outdoor space by the arena to be a key feature, a defining feature. The outside spaces, the spaces between the buildings are as important as the buildings themselves.”
The main plaza area by the arena would be comparable in size to San Francisco’s Union Square.
Building heights would conform to existing limits at the site, team officials said.

That last sentence contradicts what was said in the Examiner. Anyone know for sure if this requires any special approvals to move forward (other than the normal approval process)?
