Yes, I think it makes sense in this case. I just hate seeing a taller site go unused, since those locations are limited. I wish in a case like this or 535 Mission, they could adjust the map to up-zone somewhere else to make up for unused height.
Anyone else inspired by the street improvements shown in this rendering? I'm not sure if getting those done is actually part of this particular proposal, but they are in the
Rincon Hill plan (warning: large pdf). First and Harrison will look so much better with landscaped medians as shown here.
