Re: Stucco
Yes, if on frame, 4 inches clearance to the weep screed should do it, and, yes, it needs a weep screed at the bottom of the stucco.
Remember it this way:
Stucco on frame = weep screeds at the bottom of all stucco areas and needs clearance to grade and patios for termite inspections.
Stucco on block = no weep screeds and can go into the ground *IF* fully adhered (not loose) and not more than 5/8" thick. No termite inspection space is required.
HOWEVER,
You did not answer as to what those bands around those columns were made of. THAT could be the bigger problem.
