The H-1: Highway 10 District requires 1 deciduous/coniferous trees per 50 lineal feet of site perimeter or 1 tree per 1,000 square feet of building footprint area, whichever is greater. City code also requires 1 shrub per 30 lineal feet of site perimeter or 1 per 300 square feet of building footprint area, whichever is greater.

The required totals indicated below are reflective of the entire site and cover the requirements of both CUP's. Required Deciduous/Coniferous Trees 126 Shrubs 143
