Ordinance No. 1468 Page 5 D. Landscaping. Mature, native trees within the district shall be retained to the maximum extent feasible. Where feasible, mature oak and other native species should be relocated to grassland areas planned for development in order to soften the effect of new development within the corridor. New development landscaping shall be predominantly native plant species in areas visible from Foothill Road, with lawn or turf areas in landscape schemes adjacent to Foothill Road either eliminated or hidden by native landscaping. E. Retaining Walls. Retaining walls visible from Foothill Road should be faced with materials compatible with the natural setting, such as natural stone or wood. Where feasible, retaining walls should be stepped. Landscaping shall be incorporated to minimize adverse visual impacts, with planting in front of walls, within stepped recesses and/or overhanging the wall. F. Fencinq. Open fencing shall be required, except that solid, privacy fencing may be allowed in areas of a lot not within required yard areas if it is screened with landscaping." Section 2.
