<br />Memo to Mayor and City Council <br />January 23, 1995 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. Providing some type of financial guarantee <br />. Enforcement measures to make sure improvements are completed in <br />accordance with approved plans <br />. Preservation of woodland areas is an important section and may need <br />stronger language to accomplish its intent. <br /> <br />OVERVIEW <br /> <br />Notable changes included within the proposed ordinance for Council <br />consideration are as follows: <br /> <br />. Intent and Purpose - This is an important section for any section of <br />the Code. It gives a broad brush statement providing the <br />foundation for the standards which follow and the City's policies <br />toward that particular section of the ordinance. <br /> <br />. Screening - Current ordinance has one long paragraph of <br />standards. The proposed change includes reformatting this <br />paragraph into short statements and include a standard for <br />screening of loading areas. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. General Landscaping Standards - <br /> <br />-Relax maximum slope requirements <br /> <br />-Added underground irrigation in all multi-family, commercial <br />and industrial districts <br /> <br />-Eliminated some plan requirements for submittal <br /> <br />-Diversified landscaping requirements by establishing a certain <br />percentage of ornamental, conifer and overstory trees. (This did <br />not increase the overall numbers). <br /> <br />-Established a maximum percentage of existing trees that may <br />apply to total requirement. <br /> <br />. Enforcement <br /> <br />-Deleted one year warranty requirement <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />- In light of Planning Commission discussion included a financial <br />guarantee requirement (see attached memo from Peter Beck for <br />additional information). <br /> <br />s:council:oa94-5 <br />
