Sec. 110-669. - Surface parking.
(1) Locate surface parking in the rear or side of buildings and provide pedestrian access

investment in the area and will meet design guidelines as contained in City regulations. As
such, the project is in harmony with its surroundings.
After a review of submitted materials, staff is recommending the following modifications to the
site plan/renderings:
