Comment 1: [General Comment] Please add the site plan application number to Sheet
C0.0. It should state "Letter of Revision #1 — SDP201300061".
Response 1: Application number has been added to Sheet C0.0.
Comment 2: [General Comment] Please add the Site Review Committee (SRC)
signature panel (attached) to the cover sheet.
Response 2: SRC signature panel has been included on the Cover Sheet.
Comment 3: [32.6.2(i) and 4.12] the approved site plan SDP201300061 indicates that
there are 669 required parking spaces and 669 provided spaces currently
on the site. Below is a screenshot of the cover page of the site plan for
reference. This Letter of Revision application suggests there are only 623
parking spaces on the site. Please correct this information or provide
additional information to explain the differences. The proposed 616 spaces
currently does not meet the required parking minimum.
Response 3: Parking count has decreased since initial approval of SDP201300061
due to development of two parcels that previously contained parking
for the Costco site. 48 spaces were removed in development, making
the parking count on the site as it exists today 621 spaces. With the
proposed ADA improvements the proposed number of spaces is 616
spaces.
Comment 4: Please add a date of last revision to the drawings.
Response 4: Date of latest revision has been included on the cover sheet.
