If you watch this episode of Planning Preview (FF: 11:05) it seems instead of a parking lot being planned for the vacated street, there is a re-zone from C-2 to C-4 so there could be unlimited parking and possible building structures (of enormous sizes).
You gotta wonder how much the city planning office knew about this re-zone, and what kind of advice they were giving Billion on how to approach the city council on this proposed zoning change?
This process will be fun to watch go through the Planning Commission and City Council approval.
