Vehicle parking for residents will be provided underground at I space for each 11 of the 95 units. Variations in the building's facade have been designed to minimize the mass of 119 the structure,, and its placement to the very south of the parcel provides an appropriate 120 separation from the adjacent single-family residences. 121 122 7.3 Access to the development will come from Cleveland Avenue North approximately mid-point 123 between County Roads C2 and D.
