The project site is bordered by Washington Avenue to the north, <br />Tenth Street to the south, Sycamore Street to the east and Broadway to <br />the west. Surrounding land uses include single and multi-family <br />residential and office uses to the north, and office uses to the south, east <br />and west. <br />C.

In 2005, a citywide <br />referendum affirmed the City Council's approval of the project. In addition <br />to the office tower, the applicant received approval to construct a parking <br />structure for the tower. <br />• 2008-16 <br />Page 1 of 7 <br />
