The Downtown News's Anna Scott checks in with controversial One Santa Fe project, which heads to the L.A. Planning Commission this week. The latest alterations to the proposal: more street trees; two vertical gardens; "22 feet of common live-work space in place of ground-level parking between First and Third streets; and a 5,000-square-foot, ground-floor community center that would be leased to the Los Angeles Downtown Arts District organization and the Los Angeles River Artists and Business Association for $1 a year," according to the paper. Yup, it's still disliked by a group of local artists, who state that an environmental impact study was never done on the land; the group plans to lobby city officials to reject the development.
