1167.11 FLEXIBILITY IN THE ARRANGEMENT AND PLACEMENT OF LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING.

The standards and criteria in Sections 1167.01 through 1167.09 establish the City’s objectives and levels of landscaping intensity expected. However, in applying these standards during the development plan review the Planning Commission may:

(a)    Exercise discretion and flexibility with respect to the placement and arrangement of the required elements to assure that the objectives of the district and the proposed development or redevelopment are best satisfied.

(b)    Grant a waiver allowing existing conditions, trees and/or vegetation retained on site to be used to meet the landscaping and screening requirements when it can be determined that the proposed measures equal or exceed the intent and provisions of this Chapter.
