Segments of the building will be constructed off-site and then shipped to the construction
site to be assembled together on-site.
Landscaping will be installed within the streetyard of the site. The site is bounded by

with the residential subdivision. The applicant will work with the property owners to repair
the existing masonry wall and install a new masonry wall along the north boundary.
Landscape buffers will be planted as per City ordinance along both walls.
