PAD-3 GATEWAY CENTRE PAD SITE LANDSCAPE COMMENTS: 1. See page IX-31 Landscape Concept: The landscape concept for Gateway Centre (Exhibit 15) will unify and set the character for this urban space; repletion of a common theme and drought resistant, low maintenance plant materials will strengthen and enhance this image. (Basic landscaping specifications have been included in Appendix B.) Where a variety of architectural approaches are permitted for buildings, continuity must be assured by coordinated landscaping, signage, street furniture and lighting. Several elements are proposed in the landscape concept, including: a. project entries/streetscape b. buffering/community wall c. protective screening for misdirected golf balls along residential and riverpark boundaries d. perimeter landscaping/parking e. major pedestrian ways/plaza area f. open space g. river park 2.
