one parking spaces at ground level will be for the financial institution

level structure above the parking structure.

and staff to review the economics of the project prior to making a formal
presentation to the Agency.

fice building on the block directly north of the site described in the
Parking/Office development at 18th Street and "K" Street. (Block between

tageous, for purposes of negotiation, to show the oil company (Getty)
how the nine square block area adjacent to this site might be developed.
For this reason, a study will soon be submitted for review with staff.
If the plan coincides with the plans presently being developed then it
will be presented to Getty Oil Comapny during lease negotiations.

consultants to discuss the Parking/Office development at his expense.
