As Walgreens go, that's pretty frickin' cool!
Last time I was up there, (to mourn the demolition of Howard Alan's studio) it was little more than a hole in the ground.
Churches can opt out of landmarking. Once that is done, the landmark commission has no say if future permitting and the Sec of the Interior's Standards do not apply.
They came up with that one all on their own.
