Summary

Multiple board members criticized the quality and accuracy of applicant renderings and presentation PDFs, urging staff to require multi‑page PDFs and renderings that match plans for smoother review.

Board members repeatedly raised concerns about the quality and utility of the presentation materials used by applicants, saying incomplete or non‑representative renderings frustrate review and public understanding.

One board member said the renderings did not match the plans and asked staff to require better consistency. "It doesn't make any sense to have looking at a rendering that has no bearing to what the reality is," a board member said, urging staff to ensure submitted renderings align with the plan set. Members also asked for single multi‑page PDF packages rather than multiple single‑page links to make navigation easier for the board and the public.

Staff acknowledged the point and board members asked staff to tighten submittal expectations for future hearings to prevent delays and confusion in the review process.
