The other halve of the Building shall be four stories of General Office use. The Building will be steel and concrete structural frame with a Glass curtain wall appearance on over half the Building and stucco over metal stud framing with multiple store front window openings on the rest of the Building. Vertical stone structures will anchor the Building at the Entry Feature and at each end housing Stair Towers. Roof top mounting of HVAC units will service all four levels and these units will be screened from view by a parapet roof structure that matches the metal banding that is a part of the design at each floor level. The requested S -P-1 Zoning shall be based upon "O-1" District Zoning regulations with the following exceptions: Lot 3R1: 1. Bufferyards shall not be required along the shared drive. 2. No fencing or screening of adjacent properties is required due to the adjacent Zoning being C-2 or Agricultural. 3.

Allowed use of General Office Space does not include Medical Uses or any other Use that would require a more stringent parking ratio. Variance Requests: Masonry Ordinance #557-A requires 80% Masonry Product all Exterior surfaces of the Building. Glass windows and doors are not a part of this equation. Variance requested is to allow for the South Elevation to have 76% percent masonry, East Elevation to 78% masonry and the North Elevation to have 72% masonry. The non -masonry material on all Elevations shall be "anodized Metal Panels" that match the glass window frame material. Driveway Ordinance requires 75 feet of stacking depth at both Drive Entries. Variance requested is for the existing stacking distance of 47 feet 8 inches be allowed for the Drive off of Highway 114 service road and for the stacking depth for the new Drive off of White Chapel Blvd. to have a depth of 50 feet 2 inches.
