Landscaping 180 - Incompliance

Landscaping 180 - - A used car dealership in California is upset about the city requiring specific landscaping. The dealership is called Central Valley Motors. They don not want to landscape the Valero gas station that was recently incorporated into business, becoming an adjacent lot.

The California Community Development staff recommends that the Planning Commission honor the request to use the adjacent lot as a car lot, but reject the request to skip the landscaping aspect.

Central Valley Motors does not want to comply with the rules that require the parcel to landscape. The Commission does not understand or can find a reasonable reason for the incompliance.
