All,

I have learned through informal conversations that modeling site
obstructions from (surrounding buildings) is fine by GBCI, so long as there
is consistency and the same approach is taken in both Baseline and Proposed
models, i.e. either both models include surrounding buildings, nor neither
does.

Is there a CIR or other reference anyone is familiar with which records
this guidance, which can be cited?

Thanks.
