The city determined that the clinic will meet the city's requirement for a Public Benefit Feature better than the movie theater did. The city also waived rules related to rent and fee restrictions, considering the $380,000 in tenant improvement dollars that come with the deal to fulfill the requirement for discounted rent.

In the approval, the city reserved the right to review and condition the detailed plans for the Group Health Clinic particularly regarding street level entry details and availability of restrooms to ensure that the "feature will provide a valuable service to Downtown residents, office workers, and shoppers."
