The City Clerk is the custodian of records for all matters before the City. Section 3. Architectural Permit (AP2021-014): The Planning Commission finds that: a. The existence of sufficient variety in the design of the structure and grounds to avoid monotony in the external appearance. The contemporary architectural design would include extensive glazing, changes in colors and exterior siding material, façade modulation, balconies, and alternating roof forms which all serve to break up the massing, provide variation in the design, and avoid monotony in the external appearance. b. The size and design of the structure shall be considered for the purpose of determining if the structure is in proportion to its building site and if it has a balance and unity among its external features so as to present a harmonious appearance. The Project is proportional to the building site because it meets all the required development standards including height, setbacks, and density. The two structures are separate with a shared drive aisle. This configuration and use of two separate buildings breaks up massing, and improves proportionality with the building site. The two buildings will utilize similar materials, features, colors, and height as to provide balanced and harmonious appearance.
