Not bad as these things go. The amount of surface parking is unfortunate, but to be expected as this location.

I think it would have benefited architecturally from a small tower or high point in the front with a clock.

There's also ample room in the landscape/streetscape for at least some seating off to the side from the driveways.

...looking on the brighter side of life, it appears to being built on an already pre-existing surface parking lot. So I guess the said proposed lot is a reduced footprint of that. And for what that's worth.

Some excavation/land moving is happening.
