The final environmental impacts statement finds that under the proposed R8X zoning, a small portion of the existing purchaser apartment complex would witness significant adverse shadow impacts from your site.

Can you speak to the ways your team would commit to mitigating that impact through the building design?

It's not something that we've we've focused on up until this point, but I'll certainly take it back to the project architect who unfortunately couldn't be here today.
2:30:22
There may be some ways to to mitigate that.
2:30:24
I I think, but I'm not sure which way the shadows, whether there would be a significant difference between the shadows of a 100 and 75 feet and 215 feet.

There may be some ways to to to mitigate it, but it's not something we've studied.
