Planning PPR Comments Planning & Community Development Department • • • All development standards can be amended per the PD, with the exception of the proposed density on the RS-6 portion of the site, which can only be accommodated via an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Diagram. Further consideration shall be given to the compatibility of the proposed project to the scale and character of the surrounding neighborhood. Redesign the project to further encourage architectural and design excellence. The project, as proposed, is generally not in compliance with City of Gardens requirements. Explore ways to consolidate some of the massing into several simpler building volumes centered around communal amenities and open space. 11
