I agree with FFlint, this project exemption should not be allowed. However, for fairness' sake, I will point out the 5000 car garage at 5th and mission does provide parking access for those folks who just can bring themselves to use transit.

Despite many attempts at attempting 'pedestrian-friendly' facades, the garage is a rather brutal presence on a potentially wonderful stretch of Mission. Would CityPlace's garage have a similar impact? That should be asked. Also, given the economic reset underway, is retail the best use for that stretch of Market?
