"After more than six years of discussion, debate, and vigorous public advocacy, the threat of permanent loss of sunlight for our living museum of plants is over," Benepe said in a statement this morning.
"Additionally, the building's sloping plane will be reduced to ten degrees, allowing for necessary sunlight to reach the Garden's plant nursery and other crucial areas," according to the BBG.
Continuum claimed that reducing the angle of the plane would knock the number of units down from 475 to 355, making the affordability requirement financially unworkable.
The affordable units will be 'workforce housing,' set aside for those earning between 80 and 120 percent of the area median income, which for a family of four would be about $124,000 to $186,000.
