Staff is recommending the City reduces the size and quantity of landscape
materials to stay within the budget. We have not notified the neighborhood
located south of the subject site of this change. Should the City Council approve
staffs recommendation, we will send a letter to the neighborhood explaining the
change.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the reduction of landscaping
materials (size and quantities) to meet budget total. This equates to a landscaping
budget of $14, 140. Proposed landscape quantities would be reduced by half.
