Buy the Tavernacle building and the mortuary to the north, and transfer the allowable height from the corner to that space. They could even build almost all the way to the back of the Tavernacle buildings, provide some covered parking in that area and build a step back upwards from there to the north.
The next one to go, will be the Green Ant building directly to the west. Seriously have some vision on these developments and keep the historic fabric that made people want to live in the city to begin with.

Do you think that there is anything that could be done to prevent this development, or force them to reconsider allowing it to happen? If it doesn't have to be reviewed by the planning commission, I feel like it's a lost cause, but what do you think?
I'm already upset that the old In the Venue building is being replaced by an absolutely soulless, awful, stubby apartment building with minimal street interaction. These cultural spaces are being lost at an alarming rate.
