If they didn't suspect they would have enough parking, they would have asked for a variance.
But the city caving? I seem to remember proposed housing for people that would be too poor to own a vehicle being rejected due to parking spaces provided.
Usually they try to ''tone down'' the height - which is what created the roof effect at Barton's, and some of what happened at Lookout. They have also loved seeing renderings with expensive brick, stone, and wood cedar shake exteriors with expensive fir beams. Hopefully they are getting over that and can accept the new architectural direction. After all, they are the ones that are promoting the area as a party palace.
