5 Gyboard There are a variety of drywall textures throughout the building. Is the county expecting us to remove the existing textures entirely or skim coat in order to achieve a smooth finish throughout?

9/14/2026 Existing textures are not expected to be removed. The end-objective is to make interior wall textures consistent to the extent possible.

Exact final texture will be evaluated and approved during construction and in context acknowledging the limitations of existing conditions.
