the elderly, featuring 12 bedrooms for residence and one office for staff. Dining, entertainment, laundry,
and storage shall be provided on -site for the residence.

development.
c. Building Form -The form of the building is viewed as rectilinear from the surrounding area and

timber accents, metal railing, wrapped columns, two stucco colors, and stone veneer accents.
e. Materials- The building materials include high quality stone veneer accents, stucco, and metal
railing.
