If a landscape area around the foundation is not possible, as in the case of existing buildings and parking, landscape planters should be incorporated into the store frontage. This can be done by means of raised planters, sidewalk cutouts, or portable planters. V. Number 7: As previously indicated, the County requires landscaping to be installed/preserved to meet a specified level of intensity (i.e. minimum foliage per every 100 linear ft.). Staff requests additional review of establishing a minimum standard for the Project using the provisions of Section 6.8.6 as a guide. As part of initiating this conversation, staff requests you consider the following minimum standard: 3 canopy, 1 evergreen, 2 deciduous understory, 5 evergreen understory, and 40 shrub trees for every 100 ft. of required landscape area. Response: The binder has been modified in consideration of these requests. Regarding item 7, we are proposing a perimeter buffer where existing vegetation is cleared. In areas where vegetation is not cleared, the existing vegetation will count toward the perimeter buffer. 30. Comment: Page 9— I.B.13—Section 2-3-3 Signs and Lighting: i.
