Walls have a relation to human size in the respect that the roofline comes down to one
story at the front of the buildings.
Walls facing the street (as well as side and rear walls) have windows.
The sides of the buildings include materials and design characteristics consistent with
those on the front, namely siding, stucco and architectural glass.
3.A. Section 3.5.3(D)(3) Facades require that:
Facades that face streets shall be proportioned using such features as windows...
Our two buildings are in full compliance with this requirement with a balanced pattern of
windows and architectural glass in the facades that face the street.
4.A. Section 3.5.3(D)(4) requires that:
Primary building entrances be clearly defined and recessed.
4.13. Our proposed two buildings are in full compliance. The entry area is clearly defined and
recessed.
The foregoing, in particular Section 3.5.3(13)(1), relating to site -specific design, are in conflict
with Section 3.5.3(D)(6) requiring facades to have a recognizable base.
It is a reasonable interpretation, and our interpretation, that the Section 3.5.3(D)(1) Site Specific
Design requirements are general project, neighborhood and building design requirements that are
paramount, because a) they come as subparagraph No. 1 in this 3.5.3(D) Character and Image
section, b) they are general, and c) the subsections that follow all deal with specifics.
It clearly is most important that our buildings a) contribute to Cameron Park's uniqueness, b) be
designed and constructed with predominant materials, elements, features and colors tailored to
the site and context, and c) include the predominant materials, elements, features and colors
which are shared by all buildings in Cameron Park so that the Cameron Park neighborhood
forms a cohesive place.
Accordingly, it is reasonable, and our interpretation, that we are in compliance with Section
3.5.3(D) Character and Image section, in particular 3.5.3(13)(1), Site Specific Design
subparagraph. In addition, it should be noted that we are in compliance with every other
subsection in this section except for the one relating to facade bases.

With predominant materials elements features, color range and activity tailored
specifically to the site and its context.
In the case of multiple building development, each individual building shall include
predominant characteristics shared by all buildings in the development.
So that the development forms a cohesive place within the zone district.
I.B. Our proposed small office buildings for Cameron Park Lot 5 are in full compliance with
these site -specific design requirements:
Uniqueness - The major uniqueness of the Cameron Park area zone district and Cameron
Park office neighborhood is that it is a small office park comprised of small office
buildings with the average size of each being about 6,000 SF. Accordingly, we have
planned the Lot 5 site to have buildings, which are consistent with this major uniqueness.
We have designed the site for two 6,100 SF buildings instead of one much larger
building. We have used a walkout to keep the height of the buildings down, and as a
result, the buildings are two stories high, however, with a sloped roofline coming down to
one story.
Another uniqueness is that none of these building exceed two stories — many one-story
and some two-story with walkouts.
We are using materials, elements, features and colors, which are predominant, both in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed buildings and in the entire office park context. These
include siding, columns, entrance designs and windows and architectural glass.
Since the foregoing in the case, the buildings in the neighborhood/office park help form
the office park as a cohesive place, and the two buildings we have proposed contribute to
same.
2.A. Section 3.5.3(D)(2) Facade Treatment requires:
That building bays be a maximum of 33 ft. in width.
And be visually established by architectural features.
That walls have relation to human size and have windows.
And that materials and design characteristics on the sides of building be consistent with
those on the front, and no inferior materials used for sides or rear.
2.13. Our proposed buildings are in full compliance with the foregoing:
Our building bays are about 24 ft., and are defined by stucco columns and architectural
glass.
