Staff emphasized that any potential <br />changes to the park would include neighborhood engagement to gather input and incorporate <br />community feedback. <br /> <br />Staff reviewed the current draft concept for the buildings and site layout, noting that designs <br />continue to evolve and are being updated regularly. <br /> <br />Chair Matts-Benson provided additional context on the work of the advisory group, noting that <br />the group is collaborating on potential site layout options and building façade concepts. <br /> <br />The Commission discussed the importance of ensuring that any park amenities removed from <br />Veteran’s Park are replaced.
