The area designated as "Area for Augmented Screen Plantings" on Sheet A102 of the conceptual plan must be planted with a mix of native deciduous and evergreen tree and shrub species in a naturalistic pattern. A planting plan must be submitted with a Zoning Clearance for County approval. After issuance of the first building permit for the structures, the plantings must be in place per the plan before the first Certificate of Occupancy for the structures, or a performance bond may be posted to guarantee that the plantings will be planted by the next available planting season.
