L_ lir 1 ■ Tree Report and Landscape Plan for Lot 4 The tree report recommends the removal of all three trees on Lot 4. The two English walnut trees would be removed because they would interfere with development plans for the proposed residence, and the plum tree would be removed because it is in poor condition. Because the English walnut trees are located in the central portion of Lot 4, reconfiguring the proposed Lot 4 residence to preserve the trees would be difficult. The proposed landscape plan for Lot 4 indicates that 13 trees would be planted on the site, comprising six different species: thornless Palo Verde, shoestring acacia, strawberry tree, desert willow, Indian rosewood, and bay trees. The proposed trees would be either 24-inch box or 15-gallon. In addition to the trees, a variety of shrubs, succulents and yuccas, and vines are proposed, including upright rosemary, dwarf yaupon holly, flax, and inspiration michella. The City's Landscape Architect, after reviewing the arborist report and the proposed landscaping on Lot 4, believes that the proposed landscaping and tree mitigation are acceptable but recommends that the proposed shoestring acacia be replaced with a more appropriate plant for this area, such as coast live oak or interior live oak. Staff has included a condition to address this item. Noise Impact The City's General Plan requires new projects to meet acceptable exterior and interior noise level standards. For single-family residential development, private yard areas excluding front yards cannot be exposed to noise that exceeds 60 day/night average decibels (dB Ldn), and indoor noise levels cannot exceed 45 dB Ldn.
