The landscape plan has been revised to comply with the Landscaping and Tree standards as set forth in Division 3.2 of the LUC. 21. Land uses proposed for Building A are industrial land uses as defined by the City Code. As you are aware industrial land uses are exempt from "build to" lines, however, Section 4.23(E)(2)(b)2 of the I -Industrial Zone District states that side and rear yards are to be used for operation and storage areas and front yards shall be used for less intensive automobile parking. The proposed site plan for Building A does precisely that. A service drive east of the building leads to a service yard behind the building. A small parking lot in front of the building provides parking for nine cars. 22. Acknowledged. If you have any questions regarding the revisions or these comments, please call.
