7\ <br />Question 12 <br />As related to Waiver request #5, please provide an example of a `downtown' streetscape with in-line <br />shops that have less than 1 foot of setback (or zero line setback) along the front and rear of the building <br />(and between the building and the street or between the buildings and the parking areas), as a means of <br />demonstrating the design intention for requesting this Waiver as part of proposed project. <br />Question 13 <br />As related to Waiver request # 10. Please provide an example (i.e. sketch and section) of how a wall or <br />fence located within 1 foot of a property line or street ROW within this development would "strengthen <br />the architectural edge of the project and provide `urban' character for the development". <br />Question 14 <br />As related to Waiver request #11. Please provide a scale site plan showing the location and orientation of <br />the proposed. 50 foot high (600 square feet) sign and a graphic representing the intended image to be <br />presented on this billboard-sized sign. . <br />Question 15 <br />In looking at the proposed Buffer and Landscape Crraphic (insert between pg. 38-39 of the applicants <br />package) it appears as though the entire site will be cleared of~existing vegetation, except for the small <br />buffer strip along the edge of the Clearview Subdivision and a portion of the MTC buffer area along <br />I40/85. <br />~; <br />Please clarify whether or not this is the intent of the proposed design and whether or not the project would <br />meet the intended land use intensity performance standards of the EDD Design Manual. <br />Question 16 <br />In Section 2. (Land Uses & Development Standards) of the applicant's submitted project package, the <br />applicant states on page 16, "The following conversion factors allow the flexibility of converting retail <br />space to hotel rooms, theater seats, or condominium units." (refering to the Table on page. l7 of the. <br />application package). ' <br />The applicant has included this table in the application package with the intent of having the ability to <br />swap the intensity one use for another use after the development has been approved by the BOCC ... for <br />transportation planning purposes. <br />Whether this table is used to by the applicant to calculate the traffic impacts due to a change in the <br />intensity of one approved use or not, it is still reflects an intended conversion i.n. the intensity of one use <br />(i.e. retail vs condo vs theater) for another. <br />According to Section 8.7 of the County zoning ordinance "b) Any change in use or enlargement of <br />existing use shall constitute a modjfication."(of the SUP) and c) Any increase in intensity of use shall <br />constitute a modification" (of the SUP). <br />~~~ <br />Therefore, this table would imply a request for the ability to change the intensity of the proposed use(s) <br />after the project `s special use permit has been approved, and without the need to apply for a modification <br />of the SUP. This implication should be removed from the application, because any need to change a <br />
