He then inquired about landscaping, referencing concerns about future droughts, and inquired about more drought-tolerant landscaping. He then referenced Phase 2 of the plan with the parking garage and the on-site parking lot and inquired the purpose of the on-site parking lot versus a larger parking garage or other parking options. He also asked about solar panels on the roof. Mr. Luchini stated his understanding that the use would have no emissions of concern. He discussed the City's water efficiency landscape ordinance (WELO), which the applicant would be required to adhere to. He then stated the landscape plan provided a preliminary plant palette that would need to be refined but the current proposal was intended to show the density of trees to illustrate shading and other features. He further stated the Commission could propose a condition of approval specific to landscape requirements. He responded that he would defer to the applicant regarding parking and use of solar.
