Please be advised that after reviewing the subject applications, your submittal has been
deemed incomplete and further information is required before we are able to proceed
with the application process.
The following documentation is required to complete the application:
1. Show location of trash pickup locations and screened storage locations. Note that
trash storage may not be located in required open space area or parking spaces. If
common trash areas are proposed, demonstrate compliance with 20.30.120 (Solid
Waste and Recyclable Materials Storage) which requires a total of 384 square feet
of storage area for a 92-unit project.
2. Provide an exhibit indicating perimeter wall height – consider an 8-foot wall adjacent
to the shopping center for noise mitigation. An 8-foot-high wall is permissible adjacent
to a commercial use pursuant to NBMC Section 20.30.040.C.4.
3. Address plans for buffering/attenuating of noise from the adjacent shopping center in
the project description.
4. For comparison purposes, note the existing and proposed bedroom counts and the
existing and proposed total gross floor areas.
5. Modification request – show setback line and proposed encroachment into setback
area on all affected floor plans. Indicate architectural projections into setback area.

6. Modification findings – The findings required for a modification are difficult to make
for this application. The submitted justification focuses largely on providing
articulation and the existing 6-foot setback, however the argument could be made
that articulation could be provided and massing reduced by reducing the size of the
units/providing offset within the buildable area.
Consider NBMC Section 20.52.060 (Planned Development Permits) as a possible
alternative for your project requests. A Planned Development Permit would allow for
the proposed deviation in design with a focus on good design versus a physical
hardship, and would also eliminate the need to process a Site Development Review.
7. Dimension entire length and width of each floor plan – this will determine the required
clear interior garage dimensions. If the plans are less than 24 feet wide, required
garage dimensions will be 17’6”x19’. If the plans are between 24 and 34 feet wide,
required garage dimensions will be 18’6”x19’. If the plans are greater than 34 feet
wide, required garage dimensions will be 20’x20’.
On same plan, provide proposed interior garage dimensions.
8. Note on elevations that height will be measured from finished pad elevations per
tentative tract map.
9. Clarify what “adaptable” units means on Sheet 01. Are they adaptable between four-
plex and townhomes? Are these provided for accessibility? Is this a separate floor
plan? How many units will be adaptable?
10. Provide a clearer method of identifying floor plan types. Consider using more distinct
colors to identify floor plan types and provide corresponding page numbers for floor
plans/elevations etc.
11. Provide an open space exhibit – color code and dimension private open space and
common open space. Exhibit should illustrate and verify compliance for each floor
plan type.
12. Provide a conceptual landscape plan with plant species, quantity, and location. A key
should correspond to the provided plant palette. Compliance with the Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance will be required.
13. Provide a streetscape plan (similar to that provided for Irvine Avenue on Pages L04
and L05) for Mariners Drive and Rutland Road).
14. Demonstrate compliance with NBMC Section 20.40.070(D)(3) (Development
Standards for Parking Areas), particularly with the 5-foot landscape strip required for
parking areas abutting a public street.
15. Provide a letter outlining the current status of any offsite parking agreement,
particularly with the adjacent Westcliff Plaza shopping center.
16. Provide a materials/color board for presentation at the Planning Commission hearing.
