~' V A./ V ' Landscape Volume Ratio: VR ~ (VT + VB) /70 Where: A~ VT =Volume of Trees VB =Volume ofi Berms A =Site or Lot Area VT -Tree Volume: Tree volume is much more than the volume of trees on a site. It includes existing wooded areas retained during the construction process, installed trees, both large and small, shrubs of varying sixes, and berms installed far screening purposed. Tree volume does not include lawn areas or ground covers. Tree volume is calculated as follows: PLANT MATERIAL 1 ~ Feet HEIGHT CANOPY SPREAD Site Volume Ratio (SVR): Site Volume Ratio (SVR) is the volume of building, parking, exterior stoi compared to the volume of landscape features such as trees and shrubs on a site, Specifically, the between Landscape Volume Ratio and Building Volume Ratio (SVR = LVR --BVR).

The following table establishes the minimum 5VR for each category of land use permitted in the Economic Development District.

The intensity or impacts of industrial use depends on the nature of the specific activity. For example, electronics assembly would be considered an industrial use, but would have little potential for pollution, high water use or other impacts. which are often perceived as bein associated with industrial activit .
