Regular Meeting of the
Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC)
Wednesday, February 27, 2008

Special Notes: CCDC’s regular meetings are held at City Hall in the City Council Chambers, 12th Floor, City Administration Building, 202 C St. This meeting was held at City Hall, City Council Chambers. The next meeting will be at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, 2008.

The following summarizes Wednesday’s meeting:

BOARD GRANTS DESIGN APPROVAL ON THE REVISED Q MIXED USE PROJECT (Little Italy) The Board granted Design Review approval of the revised project design for the Q mixed use project and recommended Planning Commission approval. The Q, owned by CLB Partners, LTD, and under Developer Jonathan Segal, is a four- to six-story (77-foot high) mixed-use development with one level of below-grade parking located on a 9,980 square-foot lot along the north side of West Fir Street between India Street and Kettner Boulevard. The project includes 37,153 square feet of office space, and over 12,648 square feet of retail and commercial space. The Corporation granted Design Review approval for The Q project in November 2007 with a recommendation to the Planning Commission for approval of a Site Development Permit and a Planned Development Permit. The permit was based on the relocation of the A.W. Pray Rental House, a locally designated historical resource located at 1907 Kettner Boulevard, to a permanent off-site location. Since a permanent site was never determined, the applicant has since revised The Q’s design to accommodate the relocation of the historical house on-site.
