foot contour elevation. (Pages 2, 4, 15, 23)
3. New development is to be within the envelopes
delineated on Map P-2 (Page 2). Map P-2 is somewhat
schematic, therefore, consistency with goal objectives
and plan text shall be the definitive test applied to
the proposed projects during the City development

similar in size and configuration to those found
along McNear Drive and Peacock Drive. (Page 4)

height unless City environmental design review so
allows. The course -side lots shall be designed to
maximize views to the golf course. (Page 16) The

accessory buildings (which contain no kitchen) only
if constructed simultaneously with or subsequent to
the main building on the same lot; and home occupations

Level C site investigation as defined in Table 2 of
