- It is OK if not all members can attend all meetings. We want to see your schedule between now and Thursday and then we want to see your weekly meeting schedule.
- Setup your meetings as recurring events in zoom. (other means are OK)
- Suggest you block out your schedule by starting on marking when you cannot meet (for example when you have other classes) then look for where free time overlaps.
- Complete individual your Zoning Studies.
- Model it first in the following order
- Create the base massing (typically to a height of 85 feet)
- Then model the setback tower – rectangular shape after the setbacks – make this super tall
- Then draw the sky exposure planes and use these to slice the model –
- If there are no sky exposure planes then there is often a maximum height
- Site Plan, Block & Lot, Bldg Address, Zoning Group (R6-X, etc.) Calculate the lot areas. Do not do any FAR calculations yet.
- Zoning map and second site plan – you need the zoning map – the second site plan is optional. Need to be able to see at least the three closest streets and if the site borders only on streets or on other lots.
- Rear and Side Yards – Read carefully on these regulations. Sometimes a side yard line after a certain distance become a rear yard and has a setback
- Cite your sections of code on the drawings.
- Isometrics (complete these before the sections)
- Sections/Elevations – in some instances if you have a corner site with two sky exposure planes then you need to show elevations and not sections. For other conditions of a through lot (streets on opposite sides) or a single street frontage – the section and elevations will match.
