.. -- , Guidelines: 1.1 Deep park-like boundaries should be provided around the Phase II Planning Area to insulate interior areas from perimeter noise and low-level view intrusion. 1.2 Public facility site plans should be conceived in terms of buildings set into meadows surrounded by woodlands. 1.3 Buildings should be located at the edges of meadows. 104 Parking areas should be screened from open space and other public areas. 1.5 Major events shall be scheduled to ensure that parking shortages do not occur. Plant Community Objective TO REINTRODUCE A SYSTEM OF NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITIES THAT CREATES A NATURAL ARBORETUM COMPRISING THE ENTIRE PHASE II PLANNING AREA. Habitat Creation Policy 1: Vegetative Form. Create woodlands and meadows in response to existing and created topographic landforms and watershed patterns as a top priority. Guidelines: 1.1 Valley Grassland habitats should be created in broad, shallow swales in which rain and irrigation run-off collects, Trees should not be planted in this habitat at the outset, but should be allowed to establish naturally. 1.2 Valley Woodland habitats should be created at the edges of Valley Grassland areas, emphasizing under-story shrub planting, Initial planting proportions should be approximately 50 percent tree coverage, 35 percent under-story shrub coverage, and 15 percent meadow grasses. 1.3 Valley Forest habitats should be created on steeper north and east facing slopes and deeper swales. Initial planting proportions should be approximately 75 percent mixed evergreen tree forest and 25 percent under-story shrub planting. ~- 104 Valley Foothill Riparian habitats should be created along cultivated creek corridors and the upper shores of lakes. Cultivated creeks and water quality basins should be integrated throughout the Planning Area following historical water flow patterns. '- Grand Park Design Element 451
