The total footprint of all buildings is 9,449 square feet on a 39,542 square foot (0.9 acre) site, a total lot coverage of 23.9%. The site plan was reviewed by the Development Review Committee on February 21, 2024 and April 17, 2024.

Pursuant to Section 155.2205, Code of Ordinances, the Architectural Appearance Committee may require such changes in plans and specifications as, in its judgment may be requisite and appropriate to ensure that the exterior appearance of buildings and structures enhances the aesthetic character of the surrounding development by complying with the architectural appearance standards of this Code and approved design guidelines.
