Common use of Landscape Plan Clause in Contracts

Landscape Plan. As required by the MMRP, the Project Applicant/Developer shall develop a Landscaping Plan for review and approval by the County Biologist for each tentative map application submittal. The Landscaping Plan must be prepared by a qualified biologist and include a plant palette composed of fire-resistant, non-invasive species that are adopted to the conditions found on the Project site and do not require high irrigation rates. The MMRP further requires that the Landscaping Plan shall also include a list of invasive plant species prohibited from being planted or sold on the Project site and encourage planting of local natives typical of native vegetation within ten miles of the Project site. The Specific Plan's Green Development Program and Hillside Design Guidelines further require the Project to implement fire-safe landscaping techniques consistent with the Specific Plan's plant palette to reduce fire risks to biological resources and human safety in the fuel modification zones, and landscaping in a manner that, among other things, increases fire protection, respectively. Additionally, the Project's Specific Plan requires landscaping in the plan's Open Space Zone to be dominated by native and/or drought tolerant trees, shrubs and ground cover, taking into consideration fuel modification requirements, such as using plants that are fire resistant and avoid plants with characteristics that make them more readily combustible such as plants with oils, wax or resin content, plants that accumulate dead material or shed bark, and/or plants that grow rapidly. Plants selected will be consistent with LACoFD Planting Guideline regarding prohibited species and appropriate plant spacing with respect to zone location. Finally, the MMRP requires that the map applicant ensure that the approved Landscape Plan be provided to Project builders and all future Project occupants.
