1. Evaluate the proposed modern style and proposed fiber cement siding exterior against the other multi-family buildings in the Downtown which are predominantly traditional style with masonry exteriors.

2. This review deals with architectural design only and should not be construed to be an approval of, or to have any other impact on, any other zoning and/or land use issues or decisions that stem from zoning, sign code or building or any other reviews.  In addition to the normal technical review, permit drawings will be reviewed for consistency with the Design Commission and any other Commission or Board approval conditions.  It is the architect/owner/builder’s responsibility to comply with the Design Commission approval and ensure that building permit plans and sign permit plans comply with all zoning code, building code and sign code requirements.
