ATTY/RESO.0126/PC RESO 1320 MARSHALL STREET PROJECT REV: 12-10-25 VR Page 4 of 7 consistent throughout all elevations to present a harmonious appearance. C. The extent to which the structure conforms to the general character of other structures in the vicinity insofar as the character can be ascertained and is found to be architecturally desirable. The project meets this finding as it proposes an architectural style with articulated openings, small scale architectural elements and plane changes which are compatible with the general character of structures in the vicinity. The project is found to be architecturally desirable as it effectively uses a variation of materials, colors and façade articulation which helps to improve the architectural character of the neighborhood. As proposed, the general character of surrounding structures, representing an eclectic, will not be compromised. D. The extent to which excessive ornamentation is to be used and the extent to which temporary and second-hand materials, or materials which are imitative of other materials, are to be used. The proposed ornamentation is not excessive; materials used are not second-hand or temporary, and the use of imitative materials is modest. E. The extent to which natural features, including trees, shrubs, creeks, and rocks, and the natural grade of the site are to be retained. There would be no significant change to the natural features on the site and minimum proposed grading. The proposed project will retain all existing mature trees, replace four street trees with six new trees, and add 12 new onsite trees where zero exists. F. The accessibility of off-street parking areas and the relation of parking areas with respect to traffic on adjacent streets. As proposed, the project complies with all applicable off-street parking and zoning requirements. The project proposes 64 parking spaces, in the form of two car garages accessed from Marshall Street via a 26’ wide driveway which features a hammer-head design that leads to the 32 interior facing garages. G. The reservation of landscaping areas for the purposes of separating or screening service and storage areas from the street and adjoining building sites, breaking up large expanses of paved areas, separating or screening parking lots from the street and adjoining building sites, and separating building areas from paved areas to provide access from buildings to open space areas. The project complies with this finding as it proposes sufficient landscaping for the overall site and a driveway width which accounts for less than 14 percent of the
