The application is designed, constructed, operated, and maintained so as to be <br />harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and/or intended <br />character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that <br />area. The building designs include many windows and rock face block. The <br />design will be carried through on all four sides of the buildings. This should help <br />make the buildings more attractive. Landscaping and fencing should soften the <br />development and help screen the use from residents. The added sidewalk should <br />be beneficial for pedestrians.
