COMMENT LETTER TO CITY PLANNING

The Trees Committee wrote a comment letter on the City Planning Department's proposed 2nd Draft Landscape and Site Design Ordinance and Point System for new residential projects of 5 units or more and commercial projects.

The concept of using a point system was the idea of the  Planning Department's Urban Design Studio to comply with the State requiring an objective system for new projects.  You can see some background from the City here:
