As part of the forthcoming subdivision consideration, a determination should be made that applicable PSP District lot and yard requirements have been satisfied. Building Height. Within PSP Zoning Districts, no building may exceed 45 feet in height. While the proposed building appears to satisfy the applicable maximum requirement, a scale is not referenced on the submitted building elevations and should be subject to verification. Green Area. The Zoning Ordinance stipulates that a minimum of 35 percent of the site must be devoted to green area (i.e., open space, yard, and /or landscaped area). Because the limits of the lot upon which the structure is to exist have yet to be defined (through subdivision), a determination as to conformance with this requirement cannot be made. As a condition of site and building plan approval, a minimum of 35 percent of the subject site must be reserved as green area. Landscaping. The placement of site structures and parking areas is directly responsive to the location of existing (significant) trees upon the site. In this regard, a specific design objective is the retainment of valued trees which presently exist upon the subject property. The submitted site plan illustrates both existing and proposed vegetation on site. According to Ordinance requirements, the mandatory landscape plan must specify plant variety, location and size. While the site plan identifies both tree types and locations, sizes have not been indicated. As a condition of site and building plan approval, tree sizes should be specified. Additionally, a determination should be made that site landscaping complies with specific landscaping guidelines established for the Town Center Village. In this regard, the landscape plan should be subject to review and approval by the Town Center Architectural Review Committee, City Forester, and CPTED Officer. Off - Street Parking.
