As use areas of the site are more defined and use becomes more controlled, impacts to the existing landscape would be lower. These controls, combined with some site restoration, would result in a more diverse landscape.

New development would be concentrated outside the primary historic viewshed of the ranch house and yard. Landscape screening would be used to lessen the impact of any development within the viewshed.

All new planting in restored areas would be indigenous and drought tolerant, with limited temporary irrigation for plant development.

‘Designed’ landscaping with indigenous low-water demand plants would be confined to select areas at the ranch house and new academic zone.

Hard paving would be limited to areas required for permanent parking and for disabled access about the site.

Landscaping and berming would be utilized in the parking lots to help visually reduce the size of the parking lots.

Weed control would be a part of the regular maintenance.
