Scaled <br />information from the architectural drawings <br />will be translated into a simplified three- <br />dimensional computer model. This model <br />will be placed on the precise site, per <br />specific GPS coordinates, and the desired <br />date and time of day will be input to <br />generate an image that will show the <br />expected shadow caused by the proposed <br />structure. A series of 10 images will be <br />created to show the shadows produced at <br />various times and on various dates. <br />The Planning Center reviewed the <br />.
