and comfortable buildings, streets, and parks that contribute to a prosperous city for all residents to enjoy.

The Planning Department reserves the right to comment further on the project as details and/or explanations
are provided and may revise previous comments based on this additional information.
*** Please note that the Planning Department reviews Special Permit proposals based on architectural design,
site planning and urban design issues. The project still needs to be reviewed and comply with other
department's requirements.
It is our intention with these comments to aid in expediting Special Permit applications with your
voluntary efforts in making the necessary changes; thereby, avoiding any preventable delays
particularly prior to a project's submission to the Large Scale Development Committee or the
Urban Development Review Board.
