McMillan Parcel 2 and Parcel 3: design being promoted without having submitted a proposal for design for these parcels

Parcel 2 – Mixed Use Multifamily Building

I think that we need to call people's attention to a greater extent to the fact that VMP is now pushing Parcel 2 and 3 through neighborhood commissions without ever having submitted a proposal for design for these parcels.    I feel that this is an attempt by VMP (yet another one) to push through their interests "under the radar" and get support from ANC5E (who voted in support by the way...don't ask me how they did that without knowing what they were voting for) before people even understand what they are supporting (because there is no proposal from VMP yet).   People should be aware that Parcel 2 and 3 are those parcels that were envisioned for "Stage 2" of McMillan.  On the renderings, they are represented by the "ghosted out" square buildings.

           

These two parcels represent a major portion of the site and have not been designed or submitted for approval to any commission yet.   They need to be submitted to the same scrutiny as the other parcels---HPRB, Zoning Commission ....etc.    We need to review what is being proposed and there needs to be public input.

       

Also it's another opportunity for the neighborhood to fight for more innovative development on this site....additional protections for green space, additional protection of historic elements of the site...etc. 

                                         

We should not just let VMP run roughshod over the interests of the community and the necessary due process.
