| | |
| | 15. SATISFIED. THE TREE SPECIES CHOSEN DO NOT MEET THE |

| | PROVIDING AS MUCH TREE CANOPY AS POSSIBLE ON THE SITE. |
| | THE BUFFER TREES ARE ONLY RESTRICTED BY OVERHEAD |
| | UTILITY LINES ON A PORTION OF THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE. |
| | ALL OTHER TREES IN THE BUFFERS SHOULD INCLUDE SHADE |
| | TREES TO PROVIDE SHADE AND ALLOW VIEWING OF SIGNAGE AND |
| | THE SITE BENEATH THE MATURE CANOPIES. THE SMALL TREE |
| | SPECIES PROPOSED DO NOT PROVIDE SHADE FOR THE PAVED |
| | AREAS INCLUDING THE BIKE TRAIL AND WILL BLOCK THE VIEW |
| | OF SIGNAGE FROM THE STREET AND WILL LEAD TO TRIMMING |
| | THE TREES IN AN IMPROPER MANNER. |
| | 16. SATISFIED. CORRECT THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE AREA IN |
| | THE DATA CHART TO 15% AND SHOW THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND |
| | PERCENTAGE PROVIDED. |

| | PARKING TO ELIMINATE ENCROACHMENT. |
| | CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL |
| | 1. PRIOR TO THE REMOVAL OR RELOCATION OF ANY TREES ON |
| | THE PROPERTY, A TREE ALTERATION PERMIT SHALL BE |
| | SUBMITTED, REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE DEVELOPMENT |
| | SERVICES DEPARTMENT, PLANNING DIVISION. |
