Exhibit C includes some renderings with mature landscaping displayed. The south building elevations facing Nevada Street also incorporate articulation including insets and projections, color and material changes, architectural detailing, spandrel (faux) windows, and (for the three-story building) a 28-foot deep third-floor step back along a portion of the building. The third-story portion of the building would visually recede when viewing the new building directly in front of the property as seen in the line-of-sight section in Figure 9 below.

The three-story building is further articulated on the third story including a 5-foot upper-story step back along a portion of the north elevation, 10-foot step backs along portions of the east elevation, and 28 to 33-foot step backs along the south elevation. The applicant installed story poles for the three-story building during the workshop (they have since been removed as this site is actively being used) and provided building renderings in Exhibit B and C. Please note, the renderings do not show the full scope of the landscape plan in detail.
