Questions & Responses:
1. Felix Tian asked whether this project’s zoning has any effect on his property’s zoning. a. D. Mickael Kastrop and Marie Barron provided a link to the City Zoning Map and showed the different zoning designations for each of the parcels in the block. They clarified that this project has no change in zoning and that his lot’s zoning is therefore unaffected.
