David Kehm of HDA says that the plan isn't to go before the Architectural Review Board on this building until May 16th. Design being worked on and tweaked a little.
I'm guessing this one fell through? Haven't heard anything in some time and it's no longer listed on Clayton's pending applications page.
The project has returned with some key differences:

It’ll be pretty cool if this is under construction at the same time as residential tower at the World News building
In an article about a new pocket park in Clayton, the PD reports that this project received final approval from the BoA last week.

Per the Green Street website Clayco is the general contractor.

A ton of demolition for something so small. Clayton will probably approve it anyways.

I think it’s a bank HQ that looks like a municipal building
This is such a funny downgrade. Any chance this gets rejected? At least the parking lot portion? Yeesh.
That is almost laughable in comparison to any of the previous proposals.... just keep it as it is now if that's the case.
Clayton recently adopted new mixed-use zoning as part of implementing the comprehensive plan from a couple of years ago. The application appears to request wavers from some mixed-use requirements. It will be interesting to see how the plan commission reviews both the mixed-use wavers and the "smallness" of the project.
