Distinctive architectural elements and materials should be used to highlight primary entrances. • Provide clear site and elevation sections of the project, with dimensions called out, and show the adjacent structures; show the setback of the project from the adjacent structures. The ARC also provided the following comments: • Suggest City Council look at a different variety of affordable housing options (e.g. 3 two-bedrooms, 3 one-bedrooms, and 2 studios) • Park the project based on reconfigured/split bedrooms. • Consider adding a condition to not allow the division of bedrooms or double doors.
