Commission requires revised landscaping plan meeting living-material requirements
Staff identified a landscaping deficiency (parking-lot landscape beds below the 60% living plant-material requirement); commissioners and the applicant agreed to a revised plan and to add shade trees where feasible, favoring larger islands over center islands.

Staff told the commission the submitted plan provides approximately 6,600 square feet of front-yard landscaping and about 13 tree units, which meets front-yard requirements, but that several parking-lot landscape beds did not meet the city's 60% living-plant-material minimum. The planning commission attached a condition requiring a revised landscape plan to address the deficiency and to add shade trees to parking islands where feasible.
