| Site Landscape | REVIEW COMPLETED | PROJECT: SPECIAL EXCEPTION – WELL SITE ACTIVITY NO: TP-PRE-0723-00280 ADDRESS/PARCEL NO: 9355 E VALENCIA RD/141-02-013G CURRENT ZONING:SR EXISTING USE: VACANT LAND PROPOSED USE: UTILITY DISTRIBUTION TRANSMITTAL DATE: AUGUST 8, 2023 DUE DATE: AUGUST 16, 2023 COMMENTS: 1. There must be a NPPO. An NPPO is required per UDC 7.7.3-B. The NPPO is intended to encourage preservation in place of healthy native plants through sensitive site design that minimizes the disruption of areas within the site containing plants while allowing for salvage and transplantation of plants on the site that are likely to survive. A Native Plant Preservation Plan, Section 7.7.4, is required to be submitted or approved or a request for an exception from the Native Plant Preservation requirements approved in accordance with Sections 7.7.3.D.3 & .4 of the UDC and Admin. Manual Section 2-11.0.0 prior to Grading Plan approval. Maximize the number of preserve in place specimens to the fullest extent possible. 2. Ensure the required number of trees is in all vehicular parking areas (1 tree: 4 parking spaces) per UDC 7.6.4.B.1. Trees are to be distributed evenly throughout the parking area, UDC 7.6.4.1.B.1, UDC Technical Standards Manual 5-01-.3.2 and UDC 7.6.4.B.1.a. 3. There will need to be a street landscape border on Valencia Rd per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. 4. . The walls shall be constructed of, or painted with, graffiti-resistant materials that blend into the natural open space of the parcel. The wall shall incorporate one or more of the following decorative materials: Tile; Stone ;Brick ;Adobe ,a textured material such as stucco or plaster; or metal. 5. Maximize rainwater harvesting across the entire site into the landscaped areas, this includes all landscape borders. 6. The use of flush curbs and parking blocks is strongly encouraged adjacent to all landscaped areas to help maximize rainwater harvesting across the site and meet the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting and First Flush demands. 7. A Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan is waived due to the nature of the site itself and the limited amount of new surfacing being added.
