There is no question that USC has a major say in what happens within a few miles of their campus. It is not Pres of USC speaking directly to the Mayor nor to city council. It is more behind the scenes with good old boys scratching each others back It is their and if you do not think so, time to get your head out of the sand......or out of wherever.
Also need to remember the developer is seeking a legal argument stating it pass all the other zoning requirements etc and the probably have a case based off of other similar developments being allowed to happen. They can’t be discriminated against when others are allowed to do the same In proximities around campus in other areas.
This will probably still go forward after some litigation on their part.

Exactly what I was thinking. And if the courts agreed with the University and neighborhood, IMO, that would set a bad precedent.
Well for all the people who think USC has mostly been a bad actor when it comes to hindering development in the city, I guess you should be glad Columbia isn't Durham and USC didn't kill the very real prospect of light rail in the city.

In other rug pulling news... a Clemson fan glibly stated before the LSU game that he was going to become a Gamecock fan because it was getting too expensive to go to all these championship games....
So the Columbia Design/Development Review Commission has rejected the Gervais Street Student Housing. They asked if the developers could reduce the size/height of the project and the developers said they have done all they could. Also, the Edge developers requested certificate of design approval and site plan approval and they were referred to a subcommittee.
