A
Believe
it's
it
has
to
be
vacant
for
two
years
before
there's
no
longer
negative
points.
I,
don't
I've
worked
on
this
particular
part
of
the
Matrix
and
thought
it
was
an
important
aspect
of
it.
I
believe
it's
vacant
for
two
years
before
sorry,
I
should
use
the
mic
vacant
before
two
years
before
there's
no
longer
a
point
deduction.
D
They
have
not
that's
typically
done
later
in
the
process.
We
haven't
had
any
any
any
indication
from
them
about
what
they're
proposing.
D
Yeah,
we
usually
have
some
idea,
or
it's
built
into
the
design,
based
on
some
of
their
elements
that
they're
getting.
B
D
Yeah
or
even
prior
to
the
issuance
of
a
certificate
of
occupancy
is
usually
the
that's
that's
when
it's
required.
Basically,
they
they
can't
get
a
CO
unless
they
meet
those
requirements.
D
Yeah,
it's
something
something
the
consider
is
is
maybe
sooner
is
obviously
better
than
later
for.
B
We,
when
we
asked
about
the
previous
Hotel,
they
didn't
have
their
all
sill
out.
Either
we
didn't
ever
have
the
whole.
Do
you
remember
too
I
don't
know
if
y'all
were
I
mean
we
discussed
it
in
this
room
a
lot,
but
one
of
the
concerns
I
had
about
that
process
was
who
would
decide
some
of
the
decisions
on
that
table?
Would
it
be
developer?
Leed
staff
Leed
Community
input
Leed
like
how
would
they
decide,
depends.
B
C
You
mean
as
to
which
Community
benefits
they
they
are
going
for.
It's
always
been
developer.
You
know
they
submit.
These
are
the
ones
that
we
are
applying
for
and
because
it's
basically
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
a
use
by
right
as
long
as
they
come
up
with
the
right
number.
The
developer
submits
that.
A
B
Like
I
think
it
should
be
all
developer
at
that
point,
but
in
some
cases
I've
heard
well,
we
heard
from
so
and
so
they'd
like
this
and
we
heard
from
staff
that
we'd
like
they'd,
like
this
and
I.
Just
I
worry
about
that
part
of
the
process
to
me
that
it's
not
submitted
at
this
point.
D
Yeah,
it's
it's
pretty
typical
to
be
honest
at
this
point
for
for
hotel
projects
that
we
don't
know
the
exact
makeup
of
the
commity
benefits.
So
let
me.
C
Let
me
make
sure
I
understand
y.
They
have
to
meet
Community
benefits
in
order
to
go
forward
as
a
hotel,
but
that's
not
part
of
the
entitlement
process.
That's
part
of
the
Co
process,
certificate
of
occupancy
process.
D
C
B
C
C
B
Yeah
I,
don't
like
how
do
you
you
discuss
your
impacts?
If
you
don't
know
what
they're
doing
I
mean
that
could
be
green
built,
it
could
be
money
to
Housing,
Trust,
Fund
or
reperations.
It
could
be
solarized,
it
could
I
mean
there's
so
many
things
living
wages
and
that's
really
what
y'all
are
you
know
not
just
that?
But
what
are
the
impacts
to
that
neighborhood
that
street
the.
D
Some
tech
problems
and
then
just
to
Circle
back
so
I
think
Andrew
was
was
correct
that
you
get
negative
20
points
if
you
displace
a
business
place
within
the
previous
or
projected
24
months.
So.
B
D
But
made
the
house
structure
if
that
was
occupied
in
the
previous
24
months,
based
on
I'm,
not
sure
sure
exactly
what
point
in
time
that
they
get
negative
points
for
that.
You
get
negative
50
points.
If
you
demolish
a
historic
structure
and
I
think
that
might
be
I,
don't
know
it
might
be,
it
might
be
whether
it's
listed
as
a
contributing.
C
We
can
look
at
the
it's
not
part
that
that
specific
part
of
town
is
not
part
of
the
the
downtown
district
right.
I'll
look.
D
It's
probably
it's
probably
not
as
the
answer,
but
we'll
double
check
that
all
it
means
is
that
they
have
to
have
additional
points
to
make
up
for
that.
A
D
That
they
get
dinged
on
so
to
speak.
C
C
Time
we
will,
as
we
continue
this
discussion,
I'm
I'm
I'm,
actually
having
some
heartburn
over
the
fact
that
they
don't
even
have
to
list
their
potential
Community
benefits
to
get
entitlement
right.
I,
just
like
I
I've
got
to
have
flood
I've
got
to
have
do
right
away.
I've
got
to
have
MSD
if,
if
I'm
grading
on
a
railroad
right,
there's
all
these
things
that
I
have
to
have
before
I
can
get
entitlement
on
a
project
and
since
that's
part
of
the
hotel
overlay,
I
think
that
that
could
be
now.
They
can
change
that.
C
You
know
there's
other
ways
if
they
like.
If
so,
if
they
come
up
and
they
go
hey,
we
decided
not
to
do
the
reparations
we've
decided
to
do
the
housing
fund.
They
could
change
that.
You
know
and-
and
it
could
still
be,
it's
Amendment
and
it's
approved
through
the
as
part
of
the
co
process,
but
I
really
think
and
I'm
talking
more
as
a
commissioner
that
that
should
be
part
of
entitlement
for
pnz,
yeah,
agree
and
I.
Think
pnz
is
the
right.
A
A
D
B
D
B
C
D
Take
I
guess
the
concern
would
be
then,
if,
through
the
final
design,
if
things
change,
would
they
have
to
go
back
to
planning
zoning
to
change
their
allocation
of
points.
C
It
depends
on
that's
a
good
question
as
long
as
their
points
don't
drop
below,
they
should
have
the
option.
C
You
know
I,
don't
have
to
go
back
through
pnz
for
entitlement
if
I
have
to
change
my
landscape
plan,
no,
no
I'm,
still
meeting
the
landscape
plan,
but
I
can't
have
the
for
whatever
reason.
I
can't
put
these
trees
here.
I
have
to
change
the
tree
mix.
We
had
to
change
the
canopy
preservation
plan
because
this
one
got
killed.
Somebody
back
a
bulldozer
over
it,
real
things
and
and
and
right
so
you
go,
but
you
don't
I
don't
have.
