RESIDENTIAL PARCEL LANDSCAPE The intent in the neighborhood parcels is to provide individuality, although a dominant street-tree theme with accent trees specific to each neighborhood would be maintained. Adjacent parcels with connecting local roads would have a consistent street-tree theme. Each individual residential neighborhood would have one dominant _ street tree and at least two secondary accent trees as part of its street scene.Adjacent enclaves would have the same street-tree theme,but otherwise would be varied. SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC FACILITY LANDSCAPE Schools and public facilities would have an evergreen canopy tree theme with low maintenance criteria and a predominantly lawn landscape,with adjacent roads matching this theme.Evergreen accent trees would be provided at selective areas. OPEN SPACE/ BUFFER LANDSCAPE Landscaping shall be consistent with the MHCSD Design Manual. Edge treatments establish a distinct community boundary and can buffer the potential adverse effects of new urban communities on adjacent agricultural lands,and vice versa. Edge treatments would be consistent with the treatments described in the MHCSD Design Manual and would be implemented along Mountain House Parkway, on the west edge,I-205 on the south edge, and the Alameda County boundary, on the west edge of the project site. COLLEGE LANDSCAPE College landscape treatment along the campus perimeter would be consistent with the landscape requirements set forth in the MHCSD Design Manual. All plant materials would comply with the approved plant list. Central Parkway landscape would reflect a continuation of the criteria as set forth for Central Parkway. INDUSTRIAL PARK LANDSCAPE The industrial park landscape would emphasize the consistent treatment of street corridors,the establishment of tree windrows to establish industrial parcels and use areas,and the planting of groves of accent trees at entries and gathering areas.Refer to the MHCSD Design Manual for additional landscape guidelines. 3.8.9 WALLS/FENCES COMPONENT Figure 3-10 identifies the walls and fences being proposed as a part of the proposed project. Community/sound walls(6-7 feet high,constructed of masonry units)are proposed along Grant Line Road, from Central Parkway to DeAnza Boulevard,and generally along the west side of DeAnza Boulevard from the northern boundary of the project site to one parcel north of Central Parkway. An agricultural fence or block wall is proposed along Grant Line Village's interface with the balance of the College Park site.An ornamental security fence is proposed around the proposed stormwater-quality basin. Agricultural fences are proposed along the project site's western boundary, except that with respect to the proposed community college,an agricultural fence would be located along the college's westerly boundary and not along the County Be. The MHMP requires that a community/sound wall be developed along College Park's entire Grant Line Road residential frontage.The consistency of the proposed project, including the proposed wall plan,with the MHMP is evaluated in Section 4.3,"General Plan Policies and Zoning." The need for a sound wall at this location is evaluated in Section 4.13,"Noise." — EDAW College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR Project Description 3-28 San Joaquin County
