Planning Commission Page 3 <br />November 23, 2021 <br />Councilmember Beyer asked for clarification with the tree requirements. <br />Mr. Carlton explained the applicant submitted a landscape plan that includes a new <br />vegetated buffer screening the existing office building and access drive along with <br />detailed landscaping near the new facility and parking area. He stated ordinance <br />requires a total of 63 trees, including a mix of overstory, evergreen, and ornamental <br />varieties as well as allows native grass areas to satisfy up to half of the landscaping <br />requirements. Therefore, the proposed plan will satisfy the city's landscaping <br />requirements. <br />Chair Larson -Vito opened the public hearing. <br />There being no one to speak, Chair Larson -Vito closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Rydberg asked about waiving the curb and gutter requirements.
