The character-and-sense-of-place objectives governing development of the Landscape Manual are:

(2) to enhance the quality of life of residents through planting that provides comfortable outdoor spaces for people to occupy;

(3) to create pedestrian and bicycle-friendly environments; and

(4) to provide visual screens, buffers, and shade that:

(i) diminish undesirable views;

(ii) reduce glare, noise, and heat; and

(iii) mitigate the impacts of intensive uses.
