General comments:
When up loading the drawing please add a full name of it. A letter with a number does not help to find the drawings for the review.
Provide a written response addressing all the comments issued.
1. Show the projection of the proposed roof overhang along the drive aisle on the site plan, add label describing it as needed.
2. Provide a plan showing compliance with the minimum area required for each unit.
3. The front elevation has some features including a recessed access, projecting eave, planters, the side and rear elevation has no features, not even a change of color.
Staff recommends to add the same color features and details used on the front facade to the rear and side elevations of the proposed buildings. It will provide a more cohesive building in terms of design and appearance.
