Union Square South

Responding to community and the local councilmember’s request, DCP proposed a new special permit for hotel development in the area south of Union Square. For this proposal, I was responsible for drafting the required land use application and environmental review materials.

Reassessing the proposal in light of COVID-19’s impact on the tourism industry, I recommended withdrawal of the application and the proposal was terminated in summer 2020.
