DESIGN GUIDELINES 1 4 <br />DG - 212 Landscaping at the base of buildings should soften the <br />transition between building and adjacent ground plane. <br />Consideration should be given to the scale and bulk of a <br />building and its relationship to the scale of adjacent <br />development. <br />DG - 213 Landscape plantings should be used to help define <br />property lines and distinguish private space from public <br />space by creating a strong edge through a distinct change <br />of plant material, form, height, and/or color. <br />DG - 214 Planters and pots placed in building recesses and adjacent <br />to blank walls are encouraged. Planter and pot materials <br />should complement the building architecture. <br />DG - 215 Drought tolerant plants and irrigation systems should be <br />utilized whenever possible. <br />DG - 216 Trees and shrubs should not be planted so close together <br />that they create maintenance and security problems at <br />maturity. They should not completely obstruct views into <br />the development from the right-of-way, especially views <br />to dwelling entries and common open space areas. <br />DG - 217 Trees and shrubs should be selected based on their mature <br />size and root characteristics. Plants with root systems that <br />uplift hardscape materials should be avoided. <br />TTT <br />Open gathering space at The Americana at Brand. <br />Example of flexible amenity spaces in public plazas, including movable <br />furniture tall shade structures. <br />MAINPLACE SPECIFIC PLAN 1 4-38 <br />
