Are commercial elevation certificates any different than a residential certificate. How do you differentiate on the certificate between multiple structures on a single site?

It's my understanding that you have to do a different el-cert for each freestanding structure. After that, if possible, I describe the structure in the comments section. For example, you might say "Apartment Building A", or "Office trailer located near the south entrance" or some such thing. If that's not possible, you could attach a site sketch that shows the location of the buildings on the site, and refer to that in the certificate.

I agree. In a residential area give an overall sketch/air photo
showing what you called each structure/building. I have done
that for guest houses and even structures for sewer treatment plants.
Just dont call it a turd fermenter or poop shoot!
Just a thought...
Call it a digester or outfall.

Each structure requires a separate form. This is especially evident when they have differing diagrams that apply.

Once upon a time I was approached about doing one for a railroad caboose that was to be located in a city park on a short set of rails and used as an attraction/meeting room/public facility. As this was to be very close to a significant creek that floods somewhat routinely, I was having fun trying to determine different options for placing and securing it. They ended up not doing it so I didn't get to follow through.
