requirements.
2. The zoning buffer ordinance requires a minimum fifty foot wide (50') land use buffer

undisturbed. Currently, this site isn't meeting this minimal requirement. Easements
cannot count towards meeting this minimal requirement.

outward, a wall, or dense evergreen plantings, is required along the southern
perimeter of the site. Credit towards fulfilling this requirement can be given for
existing trees and undergrowth that satisfies this year -around requirement.
4. This sites combined parking numbers exceed one hundred and fifty spaces;
therefore, the interior islands are required to be a minimum of three hundred square
foot (300) in area to receive credit towards the landscape ordinance requirements.
Also, there will need to be additional interior islands on the site to meet the evenly
distributed section of the ordinance.
5. An automatic irrigation system to water landscaped areas will be required.
6. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, it will be necessary to provide an approved
landscape plan stamped with the seal of a registered landscape architect.
