The areas to be included in the landscaping plan shall be those adjacent to the north, east, and south property lines. If the existing orchard is removed from these areas, the applicant shall implement the landscaping plan under the schedule approved by the Planning Commission. There is no contingency landscaping plan on file. The orchard existed in 2000. The orchard no longer exists.
