Landscaping: As shown on the landscape plan, a variety of trees are proposed on site. Specifically, a mixture of Ash, Maple, Crab and Spruce trees have been proposed. To be noted is that three trees have been proposed within the site's stormwater pond. To ensure the trees survival, they should not be planted in an area of the site intended for ponding. To visually enhance the site, it is suggested that additional planting be provided in the following areas on the site: • Along the off - street parking areas between sidewalks and the building foundation • At the south end of the row of parking stalls that abut the west side of the building (to screen loading activities from Apollo Road) • Within the off - street parking island west of the building (to visually break up an expanse of parking area) Further, the Environmental Board has recommended that Oak species (a mixture of Burr, Red, and Swamp White) rather than evergreens be provided along the freeway and that existing cedars on the site be relocated and re -used in a screening location. Parking: The standards for calculating the off - street parking requirements for office and warehouse uses are outlined in Section 3, Subdivision 5 of the City Code.
