Sketches may be drawn in freehand and at a scale sufficient to show clearly the information required, but not less than one inch equal to 2,000 feet. U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle maps may be used as a reference guide for the location sketch.

(l)

Buildings, access, and parking. Size, location, and elevation of all proposed buildings and existing buildings to remain or to be demolished, and minimum required building setback lines, the location parking and loading areas, driveways, curb cuts and where required designated fire lanes.
